What to say? I blush easily. I hate crowds but love new places and new beginnings.
I was born in Warwickshire, lived and worked in a number of cities in Europe--London, Brighton, Vienna, Munich, Athens--before finding a home in Los Angeles, California where I married and gave birth to two sons. I'm presently back in Warwickshire, in Stratford-upon-Avon, William Shakespeare's old 'hood, twenty miles from where I was born.
They're obviously very different, LA and Stratford, but I consider both of these places "home."
Most of my working life has involved writing in one form or another--journalism, PR, one short and disastrous adventure in advertising--but I love writing fiction most of all. I can make things up! I write contemporary fiction that doesn't fit into any particular genre though many of the journals that have published my short stories describe themselves as "literary." I like psychological tension, damaged characters. And finally - resolution.
Thank you for visiting!
