Welcome
Here you will find details about my current work, updates on progress, and my blog with personal anecdotes, activities, steps in my writing and perhaps the odd random thought. If you’re interested and would like to know more, drop your details below and I’ll add you to my Readers’ List.
Let’s start with the books…
Shortlisted for the New2TheScene Novel Award 2026
Inspired by the Restoration era case of Mary Carleton, a woman posing as a German Countess meets her devious match and ends up on trial for her life.
Carleton
Shortlisted for the Women’s Prize, Discoveries 2026.
A couple divided by belief try to protect each other, and their marriage against the spiraling hysteria of the 1597 Scottish witch-scare.
The Peat Cutter’s Wife
Based on a discovered 1756 Spanish Inquisition trial transcript, the case that first inspired me to write.
A fallen nobleman rebuilds his life, only for a well-intentioned prank to turn potentially fatal.
The Accidental Heretic
Praise from The Historical Novel Society: “The characters are deeply human, the plotting brilliant… The tension ratchets up like a torturer tightening the rack… Vivid… Unforgettable.”
