My books
I write the kind of books I love to read - ones that sweep me off my feet and don’t let go.
My stories transport readers to another time and place, blending historical and contemporary romance, weaving through the supernatural and Cornish legends, and creating characters who whisper to the reader long after the final page is turned. My passion is writing immersive books that captivate the reader, magic them to Cornwall and offer a little escape from the everyday.
Born in London and now living in beautiful Cornwall, I draw inspiration from the landscape around me which is rich in myth and legend and echoes with the past.
From childhood notebooks filled with stories about ponies to becoming a full-time author, my writing journey has been fuelled by a love of storytelling and a passion for creating novels readers fall in love with. I’ve been fortunate to write for Little Black Dress, Avon, Pan Macmillan, Orion, HarperCollins, and Notting Hill Press and have published over 30 books.
