About Me

I live in Plymouth with my husband and two children. I love nature, festivals, the arts and being outdoors, especially wild swimming and paddleboarding - anything involving the sea. I'm an ex-teacher and work as a counsellor alongside writing.
I have always loved writing and being creative and, when I was younger, I loved to escape to a fantasy world by reading books. I would sometimes read throughout the night as I'd get carried away with it! However, I did find that I wanted more books involving female characters as the heroine.​
In my adult life, when my children were born, I imagined the fantasy world I've depicted in this book and the story then evolved over time in my mind, but I just didn’t have time to write it. However, once my children were both of school age, I had a couple of days a week to focus on getting it all down on paper and I loved every minute of it. The more I immersed myself in this world and the plot of the story, the more I developed the characters and storyline; resulting in my first ever books (but definitely not my last).​
