I’m also a foster parent to disabled dogs, one or two of whom have featured in my books, Snoops aka
Rambo, for instance, who starred in Recipes for Disaster. You can find out more about my dogs, including my Pets as Therapy dog, who was rather unique, on my 'Furry Friends' page.
Deciding the balls I was already juggling weren’t humungous enough, I also embarked on an MA in Creative Writing at the City of Birmingham University. I’m pleased to say I have just finished my Final Project, completing my stage-play around my book, A Little Bit of Madness. Did I mention that scenes have already been work-shopped on stage at the Birmingham Rep, my leading man being Dan Hagley from BBC Radio 4’s, The Archers? I did? Oops.
I’m a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association, “formed over fifty years ago in order to ‘raise
the prestige of romantic authorship and generally to encourage and foster the writing of romantic works’, and a contributing editor at Loveahappyending Lifestyle magazine. I also have a bit of penchant for men in bite-the-buttons-off blue uniforms, having been rescued by one such white-knight-in-blue when my car self-combusted on the motorway.

I must admit I'm a bit accident prone, which might make you wonder why I would attempt feats like this:
But that's a story for another time.
I live in Droitwich in Worcestershire, with my son and partner and my odd dogs, and when I’m not passed out in front of my PC, I can be found messing about on the water in our little narrowboat, Aquaduck, which I fall off, frequently, me being me.
