about this author
I was born and raised in London. Since then I have lived in Lancaster, Derby and now Brighton. I am married with two sons.
'Wicked Baby', my novella based on the events of the Profumo Affair, was published in 2004. An extract has been showcased on the official website of Whitbread-nominated author Laura Hird.
'The Mmm Girl', my novel about the life of Marilyn Monroe, is winner of the UKA Press Opening Pages Competition, and is now available to buy. An excerpt is featured in the 'Voices From The Web Anthology 2006'.
I also write occasional articles for websites including Immortal Marilyn and Madonna Connexion, as well as my own blog. I am currently working on my third novel.
