A favourite mantra of mine is that no person should be defined by what they do, so while describing myself as an author, editor, historical researcher and lifelong student might be true, it’s a description that doesn’t capture the whole of me. Certainly, I have loved writing novels, novellas, and short stories, as well as spending more than thirty years as a technical editor. Read any of my stories and you will soon detect my fascination with the recent past, which is where the researcher and student parts of my nature go hand in hand, leading to two MAs – one in writing, the other in contemporary history.

Then there is the rest of me…Sussex born and bred, half-Italian (and fervently proud of my Italian heritage) – my husband and I love to travel, usually in just one direction – south. A much-loved Scottie dog makes up our trio, accompanying us wherever we go, inevitably involving a campsite or two along the way. When I’m not writing, I’m reading, cooking, enjoying Pilates and when the weather permits, a spot of gardening to help clear the mind and fill our plates with home-grown produce.
