I am what I write. It's the deepest part of me, and is, not surprisingly, the actual mechanism by which I share despite being an extroverted introvert. Truly a conundrum I am. In all of us there are different faces. Most are superficial. That differentiates between a funny story I might tell you in person and the words I write. My heart and soul goes into my work, as is true of all creators.

I began writing very late in life, but perhaps that makes it even more valuable to me. I began by writing for online blogs such as Mind, Body, Green. Having gained a little confidence, I published a gritty by anyone standard's memoir, Heart Bleed. I followed that up with a compilation of blog posts, and finally made the leap to fiction. I was terrified. But a supportive group around me and an excellent editor pulled me through and I published White Night, and it's sequel, Eternal Dawn. I followed those with an historical fiction, I.Am.Elizabeth. You can read more about them below.

For the past few years, I undertook publishing as a way of helping brand new authors to achieve their publishing goals. It was rewarding and great fun, but I found that focusing on others caused my self to disappear. So, I closed it down and now I am back to living in my own world. It's disturbing but entertaining.
