Welcome to my author page. I write page-turning psychological and suspense thrillers and I'm fascinated by the darker side of human nature and how a life can change in an instant.

Coming soon from DP Books - 'If I Were You', an emotionally-charged domestic suspense novel that explores sisterhood, manipulation, and the terrifying consequences of believing the wrong person.

Three of my novels are published by Bloodhound Books. 'The Girl in the Van' won the suspense and thriller genre prize in the 2022 Pageturner Book Awards. It's a chilling page-turner that touches on serious and complex themes including individual grief and vulnerability, as well as societal responsibilities towards the disadvantaged and dispossessed.

'Girl Out of Sight' is a dark suspense thriller about human trafficking and 'The Sisters' is twisty noir about tragedy, guilt and revenge in a family where 'silence echoes louder than truth'.

My other books are 'Lies Behind the Ruin', domestic suspense and a short story and travel writing collection ‘Brief Encounters.’
