Born in France in 1977, in Haute-Vienne, to a Breton mother and a Limousin father, I hold my Celtic roots dearly. The third of four children, I never really had much growing up but I'm glad that my parents taught me to appreciate what I have. It's enabled me to be ecstatic today about simple things.
I moved to the UK in 1998 as an au-pair to better my English, and I fell in love with the place. I've lived here ever since. I've been in bands, I've been in plays and I now live a happy life in my cute detached house in Cambridgeshire.

The storyline for Nude came to me in 1996 but I didn't find the voice for my characters until a few years ago. Who would have believed that I would find it easier to write in English! ...more

I have a pretty busy life and writing Starlight, which some people are still waiting for before they read Nude, the story took on a turn that I had not expected. I left the book for a couple of years distracted by life. One morning a few months ago, it just clicked and I started to spend some time every morning with my first coffee, reading through what I'd read. You see, I know how the story ends so I really want to get there. Anyway, I've made it a routine: week or weekend, my morning coffee is spent writing, whether it's 20 minutes so I'm not late for work, or 2 hours if I have the time. By the way, you can totally read Nude now as it has an end. If you don't want the cliff-hanger, just don't read the first chapter of Starlight at the end. I'm actually thinking of re-publishing the book without it.(less)
