BIOGRAPHY

After teaching French, Latin, and Classical Studies for almost twenty years, my career took a new direction when I decided to turn my hand to writing children’s fiction.

My series of time-travel stories, Shadows of the Past, aimed at the Middle Grade age group, involves a quest that takes three children and their rather special cat on a rollercoaster journey through the mists of time.

Each of the books is filled with adventure, history, mystery, suspense and humour, but with a hint of magic and a sprinkling of stardust added into the mix.

      • HI! I guess one of the most important lessons I've learned is to accept criticism and to use it as a tool for improvement. As writers, we can be a little blinkered and protective about our work, but it's always good to listen to other people's opinions.

        • Thank you for sharing that, it’s a really important lesson. I agree completely. It’s not always easy to hear feedback, but it does help us grow and see things we might miss. I’ve really enjoyed our chat, and I’d love to stay in touch. I’m not on here very often, so email might be easier for us to talk more about writing and share ideas. If you're open to it, could you let me know the best email to reach you?
