Journalist for many years, my work has appeared in Woman & Home, The Sunday Times, the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, The Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday among other outlets. My first novel is Off Course, a science-fiction yarn about Cathy Prior’s attempts to get her job back by proving she didn’t screw up on a story the way her enemies are claiming.

Aballonia. 25th century.

Famine is ravaging the universe. And journalist Cathy Prior’s world is in a mess too. Her lover’s leaving her, complaining she drinks too much. Crops everywhere are failing, millions are dying; only the ultra-rich can afford enough to eat.

Close to Home by Cara Hunter
"Ooh this was good. If you are after a gripping, suburban thriller then this is it. I'm often scared to read books about missing children as I fear I'm not strong enough to deal with anything gruesome or abusive. I honestly couldn't put this down thou" Read more of this review »

"This would have been a 4-star read for me... right up to the ridiculously too-clever-for-it's-own-good epilogue: I mean, really? 😵

H.A. Fowler liked a quote

“I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.”
T.S. Eliot

“Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke or spirit answered to, in strongest conjuration.”

“Isn't that a kind of prayer? The care and maintenance of the web of our noticing, the paying heed?”

“We couldn't see the real dark for the metaphorical dark. Because of the metaphorical dark, the death-dark, we were constantly concerned to banish the natural dark.”

“There was a time—until very recently in the scheme of things—when there were no wild animals, because every animal was wild; and humans were few. Animals, and animal presence over us and around us. Over every horizon, animals. Their skins clothing our skins, their fats in our lamps, their bladders to carry water, meat when we could get it.”
