I was born in England, the eldest of four children. My family soon moved to Australia where I lived in small towns and began to write stories after school. As a teenager I was lucky enough to spend over a year in Italy on my grandparents' farm, as well as several years in France later down the track.

​

I married young, having fallen head-over-heels in love with a charming Frenchman who followed me back to Western Australia. I obtained a law degree in Perth, and while working as a solicitor for well over a decade, I never stopped writing. In 2011 I joined Anna Jacobs' critique group and honed my craft. In 2013 my first book, Dark Oil, was published with Escape Publishing, a HarperCollins imprint.

​

After thirty years in Western Australia, my French husband longed to reconnect with our European family, so this time I followed him! We now live in a lovely small town in Brittany with our daughter and four furry pets where I write, teach English and enjoy long walks in the forest and along the beach.

​

My books are about good people in challenging situations, and their long and winding road to happiness.
