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

We had a small reception immediately after the ceremony in the Green Ash Hotel, Denshaw; several weeks later we had a similar celebration at The Old Hall, here in Uphill for family and friends down here. We had a reception in Nutfield, Surrey for Bari’s family […]
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 […]
