About

---

I've always loved story... books or film... set in locations that move me - a medieval castle, the center of London, Hollywood, a cottage in the countryside... give me that and a glass of good champagne (or a cup of something warm) and I'm utterly happy. But the thing to know about me is that when it comes to writing, I love drama and good dialogue. This is probably because I grew up watching soap operas and reading Hollywood Wives (thank you Jackie Collins); it's no wonder I became an avid reader of women's fiction! As I grew,  my taste expanded to include the incredible worlds created by authors Rosamunde Pilcher, Maeve Binchy, and Santa Montefiore. I credit these female authors as being some of my best teachers. Thank you ladies! I've taken the advice of a wiseman who once said: Write what makes you emotional when you think about it, write what you know. 

My Mission as an author is to tell stories that entertain and provide an emotional experience, one which creates a yearning to make sense of yourself and the world.
