Welcome to my website.

*********Latest news - new short story, "The Bread Princess" now available to download as an ebook, to read on a Kindle or PC********

I am a writer of short stories, around twenty of which have been published in online and print journals. My stories have appeared in journals including The London Magazine, Per Contra, Menda City Press, Bartleby Snopes, Foundling Review, The Linnet's Wings, Glasschord, Euonia Review, Halfway Down the Stairs, Words with Jam, and Controlled Burn.  Click on the "Sample Stories and Links" tab to see pieces of my work.

I am also keen to promote creative writing and sit on the Steering Committee of the Grace Dieu Writers Circle in Leicestershire. Our group hosts annual workshops on a variety of genres; poetry, screenwriting, short stories.

I have a Ph.D. in English Literature, focusing on the writing of non-Maori settler women in New Zealand. Many of my stories are set in isolated landscapes, and explore the interconnectedness of the human and surrounding topography.
