I was born in England and lived most of my life in Australia before returning to the UK some years ago; my dual nationality means that I am often a bit too cheeky, but will always apologize for it. I have been writing fiction for over thirty years, mostly for the enjoyment of myself and my friends, but writing is my love and my vocation so of course that’s where my dreams and ambitions are. In the meantime, technical writing helps to pay the mortgage, while I also have fun with web design, reading, watching movies and television, knitting, and imbibing espresso.
