Hello!
After 30+ years of teaching English to recalcitrant teenagers, I took early retirement in 2014. Since then, you’re most likely to find me in my writing cabin where I rule over my imaginary worlds. I’ve written six and a half novels, loads of short stories and, recently, bits of flash fiction.
I was signed with Northodox Press, who published my debut novel, called The Art of Murder, on 17th July 2025. The sequel, The Vengeful Rose, should have been published by Northodox in summer 2026, but as they have changed direction (only publishing historical fiction), we have amicably parted company. Sad face.
Now, I am on the submissions road once more, so wish me luck!
