I have written six crime novels, within the sub-genres of psychological thriller, detective fiction and supernatural crime, and my next works will feature sci-fi/technological elements too. I have travelled extensively, and this is featured in my latest novel - Violet – which is set on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

I’ve taught creative writing in male prisons and at crime festival workshops in the UK. I’ve given solo, joint and panel talks at libraries and many festivals in the UK and abroad. I work alongside three other female crime writers as a writing coach, providing help and support to new and established authors.

The topics of my books range from small town domestic crimes, to serial killers, cults, toxic friendships and the perils of modern technologies. I’m happy to talk about all aspects of the writing, research and publishing process and I very much enjoy encouraging people to read more and to persevere with their own writing.
