BIOGRAPHY My love of writing began, of course, with books. I was an avid reader from a very young age, and read my first Agatha Christie novel when I was 10.
I write cozy murder mysteries, the Dottie Manderson mysteries are set in the 1930s and now I also have a new series, the Miss Gascoigne mysteries that are set in the 1960s. In addition to these, I have also written a contemporary series of diary-based 'mysteries', these are the Friendship Can Be Murder mysteries.
I live in Derby, England with my family and any cats, birds or squirrels I can coax into the garden.
