About this author

edit data

My first novel, 'More Than Love Letters' was published in paperback 2007, my second, 'Hearts and Minds', came out in 2008, my third, 'Crossed Wires', in 2009, and my fourth, entitled 'The Tapestry of Love', was published in paperback in October 2010.

My fifth novel, 'Ninepins', is due for release in the spring of 2012.

I write fiction which might be described as romantic comedy with a hint of satire - or possibly social satire with a hint of romance.

In what passes for real life I am a Fellow and lecturer in law at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. I live in a Cambridgeshire vilage with my partner, two daughters and a small pack of spaniels. For my sins, I am also a season ticket holder at Ipswich Town FC.

Rosy liked Lucy's review of The Making of Her: " I really do urge you to read this book, which I have just finished. It is rare, in my experience, to find a book that is thought-provoking and deeply moving, yet also so uplifting. The characters' inner lives, their hopes and dreams and private de...
