I'm an actor and director at a small community theatre near where I live in the UK. For a while, I worked in Business Change and Project Management - very pressured, extremely demanding - but I managed to escape that bit of the rat race in 2005. Now I write cosy crime mysteries set in France.

From being a child, I've always loved stories, so creating some of my own seemed a natural progression to me. I particularly like plotting and planning my crime novels but I don't confine myself to that genre alone. I also write feel-good, stories that are included in the the sereis of Miss Moonahine anthologies and I write darker stories for my publisher's DARK series of collections of short stories.

I've also tried my hand at radio scripts and two of my short plays have been recorded ion local radio.
