I read History at Birmingham University as a mature student in the 1980s. My career has included working for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, RCA Records European Office, a major recording artist's management company in Los Angeles, Q Prime Artist Management in London, Age Concern in Gateshead, the Royal Jubilee Trusts in Shropshire, and six weeks on a cattle ranch in Wyoming. For the past 25 years I have worked in the music and live events industry with my husband while restoring an old farmhouse and raising our daughter.
In 2015 I won the Flash 500 Novel Opening Chapter and Synopsis Competition with my entry, 'The Swan Road', now Chapter 3 of Shadows of the Conquest.
Shadows of the Conquest is a finished novel that stands alone but is the first in a trilogy that will take my protagonists across France before returning to England to join, or oppose, the resistance. I am currently attending lectures on medieval Welsh history as part of my research for the third novel.
