Welcome to the exciting world of literary fiction or, in my case, historical fiction. This website will introduce you to my books and give you an insight into the life of their author. You are cordially invited to participate by visiting the contact page.

 

I live in an extremely rural area of France, the seclusion and tranquility of which is conducive towards my passion for writing. Furthermore, this region is rich in the history of the country's occupation during the Second World War, affording me a wealth of memories and incidents on which to base my novels. In fact, I find researching takes up more of my time than writing. There is an abundance of sites to visit but sadly, many of those who experienced the occupation are slipping away with the passing of time.

 

Alongside are five examples of my novels,  four of which have already been published.

'Without Yesterday: Mona's War' : became available in the autumn of 2015.

 

'The Housekeeper' will be published in 2017
