edit data

Gaynor Torrance lives near Cardiff with her husband and their rescue cat, Cleo. The area is the setting for her Detective Inspector Jemima Huxley Crime Thriller series of books. Like Gaynor, Jemima has a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Though, apart from them both having a keen interest in human behaviour, that’s where any similarity ends.

When she’s not writing or glued to her Kindle, Gaynor enjoys listening to music, playing the piano, walking, travelling, and eating far too much chocolate.

“Religious establishments made her feel uneasy. The very idea of surrendering to such an ideology seemed nothing more than mass brainwashing. It defied logic yet appeared to offer comfort and hope to people who desired a sense of belonging.”
