About the author

Writing was my first love, but an interest in film-making steered me in a different direction. Along with a good friend, I founded a London-based film company - editing and producing award-winning TV drama and documentaries. Our projects took me to Italy, Greece, India and then to Canada where I met and married a Canadian actor, Michael J. Reynolds and we settled in Toronto.

Working between Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, I created and produced TV series for children; worked on scripts for television and film; and wrote extensively for various magazines. For ten years, I was the Contributing Editor of 'Britannia' - a North-American magazine celebrating the British way of life. Later, I founded and and edited a popular monthly newsletter/magazine for the television series Coronation Street's many overseas fans .
