She's fantastic!' - Jane Garvey, Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 4.My historical sagas are set in a British northeast mining village, where I grew up. My books feature feisty females and are wonderfully dramatic, written with a touch of humour.

My short fiction has appeared in magazines including Take a Break, My Weekly, The People's Friend and The People's Friend Fiction Special.
