On this site you can find out information about my writing courses and workshops.  I run creative writing courses for Adult Education and I also teach privately.  I only teach aspects of writing in those areas in which I have been published myself.  Please see link for details.

I’m available for talks and have been a speaker at many writing conferences, including: 

My first short story was published in 1987, when I was about – er hem – six - and since then I’ve sold hundreds of stories and I regularly write serials, which have been published in both the UK and abroad. 

I’ve also sold dozens of features and children’s stories.

I live with my husband Tony, in a four-hundred-year old cottage, which was once an Ale House belonging to Hall and Woodhouse. 

A covenant states that we’re not allowed to sell beer, but we are allowed to give it away!

In our spare time we enjoy walking with our dogs in the beautiful Dorset countryside and socialising with our friends and family.  Tony’s son, Adam, is also a published writer.

I’m often asked for the secret of my success and it’s very simple. 

If I won the lottery tomorrow I would still write.  I live and breathe writing.  It has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. 

I simply cannot imagine a life without writing.
