WRITER
I am a writer living in the west of England; I have written fourrteen novels, my latest being 'Winterdyke' This is the latest of the seven Radwinter genealogical mysteries series, all available on Amazon - the eighth in the series due to appear in early summer. I have written seven other novels, a guide to writing, three stories for reluctant readers and two anthologies with other writers. All are available as eBooks and paperbacks. I hope my blog will engage you with my other interests, music, family history travel, and food... Most of all I hope you engage with my writing and my thoughts on the process... at least, on my process!! You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

MoreWho cares about rocket? Who even cares about sorrel? Give me watercress, hot,peppery, native watercress!
MoreWe did manage to harvest a few red tomatoes, and they were sweet and lovely, but most of the vines were heavy with tomatoes which didn’t ripen… so green tomato chutney! As usual with a new recipe I followed it exactly, but there seemed a heck of a lot of liquid, and it was still very fluid after the […]
MoreRevising for exams is thankfully a thing of the past,and I was always quite good at it… except I had the uncanny knack of focusing on the wrong things when I revised! Now I’m revising ‘Loving Judah’ – to be published on Wednesday… I’ve been working on it for a while so this is the last tightening […]
