About me

I live in Kent in the UK and work part-time as a school librarian. I have been writing books for seven years now, and have published five. The first is The Purple Butterfly, and is the diary I kept when I was undergoing treatment for Thyroid Cancer. The second is called The Little Book of Collectable British Pyrex. These were followed by two regional recipe books and an anniversary book completed for the 75th Anniversary of the school where I work.. I have also written a children's novel called Abigail Flynn, which was printed for a local school. There's a snippet under 'First Chapters'- read it and email me your thoughts.
