About me


me1I live in Shropshire with my husband Will, our little boy Evan and his baby brother Alec. For years, we lived in London, but Will and I both grew up in the countryside so at the weekends we liked getting out of town and having adventures in all sorts of weird places.

Once when I was at home writing Bloodline, Will and some of our friends went exploring in Kent. They found themselves in a very spooky place full of spiders with thousands of spider egg-sacs hanging from the roof. ARGH! I am really glad I wasn’t there – I am terrified of spiders. Anyway, it gave me an idea, but more about that later…

Ooh, and I’ve got a new Facebook page – please do take a look. I’ll be updating it with lots of info about where I am and what I ‘m up to! Search under my name, and you’ll find a shot of the cover for book three, Spirit Hunter, as my profile pic.

I have been a writer since I was about ten..
