I live in Buckinghamshire with my husband and three grown-up children where I write psychological thrillers for HQDigital/HarperCollins and romantic comedy novels published by Bookouture.

Over the years I've been a secretary/bookkeeper, a wedding photographer, a pub manager, I've worked in a supermarket, a newsagent's and as a librarian - all good for story ideas.

I now write full-time and when I'm not writing, I read a lot, enjoy walking - which is good for plot-wrangling and ideas - photography, watching Netflix, baking and eating cakes. And then more walking to work off the cakes.

Hi, Erica!

Each book features a new main character and story, but it's probably better to read them in order to make more sense of the recurring characters, such as the cafe owners, Dolly and her son Charlie, who go on their own journeys throughout the series. I hope you enjoy the books if you decide to give them a go 😊(less)
