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.
