Member Since
June 2019


Having grown up in Devon I have always had a strong affinity to the county, despite being born elsewhere. One of my favourite past times is researching my family history and I was therefore delighted to find an ancestor who came from Exeter in Devon. His story inspired my first novel.

I have a degree in Humanities with Literature and have always enjoyed reading, especially the great writers of the 19th Century, such as Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy.

In my spare time, when I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, listening to folk and world music, going to the cinema and trying to grow vegetables, with limited success!

This book was both gripping and deeply moving with its story of love and revenge set in World War 1. I did feel that maybe the villain of the story was a little cliched, but nevertheless the book kept me involved all the way to the very end. There is ...more

I found this a gripping story of guilt, detection and revenge set in and immediately after the great war. The format of the story keeps you guessing right up to the end as to who will die (or not). Full of authentic historical detail, this gives a vi ...more
