: About Me

Mother, wife and career woman, I love life (for the most part) and always manage better when I have a full plate. I live and work in London with my incorrigble husband, our cheeky daughter and, on the weekends, my 'car mad' step-son. We have a surrogate baby, the family cat, who is an absolute minx.

When I am not at the office, or at the gym, or cooking, or running my dance company, or to-ing and fro-ing my daughter around, I love to write. I dream that someday I will be able to devote myself to my writing.

Free time is an absolute luxury and when I do find some time (and I don't use it for writing), I indulge in my shoe-shopping and handbag habit.

I joined Helium in January 2008 and within weeks I had sold an article in the Marketplace! Yes, that's me patting myself on the back but it's been weeks now and I'm still on a complete high! I seem to fluctuate between one and two stars, but that's ok because my writing is one of my passions and has very little to do with stars.

I hope you enjoy my work. Please feel free to drop me an email. I love hearing from new people, especially fellow writers!

'He walks into the room and something in the air changes. I cast my gaze over the crowd and smile to myself as I notice that every woman in the room is trying very hard not to stare at him. He is confident without being arrogant, mischievous, more desirable than chocolate and sensuality floats from him as naturally as his next breath. He is secure and comfortable in his own skin and I know just by looking at him that he has an amazing sense of humour. The man is breath-takingly sexy!' We all have our own little things that attract us to the opposite sex. As much as we would like to be reco...
