After publishing several medical books, I have returned to my childhood passion for writing fiction. Originally from England, I qualified as a doctor from the University of Oxford in 1970, and spent 30 years working in clinical and research posts. From 1991-2000 I was consultant in psychological medicine, with special interests in oncology and palliative care, at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford. After my husband and I moved to New Zealand in 2000 I decided not to resume an orthodox medical career but, having done some training in natural therapies, practised as a Bach flower practitioner and life coach for ten years. I also developed interests in choral singing and animal welfare. My novels reflect these interests as well as my medical background. The latest one "You Yet Shall Die", set in southern England, is a story about family relationships and the uncovering of a long-ago crime.
