"Rip-Roaring Historical Tales"


I live in Britain on the edge of an ancient and magickal forest. My current WIP is a historical novel, 'Face The Champion.' The hero is a talented young glassblower who faces trouble with the law and is forced to flee the East End of London with a ramshackle travelling fair. In this he is variously hindered and hampered by the love of his life, Mary, his growing family of youngsters and his charismatic friend and blood-brother, Zackariah Scarrott. My writing has appeared in Woman's Weekly, The Lady, Prediction and The People's Friend, on BBC Radio 4's Good Morning Sunday and ITV1's 'Loose Women.' I won 'Coast to Coast Competition' in October 2008 with my short story 'I Remember Very Well. I'm a member of the Romany & Traveller Family History Society and of a writing circle that meets in the back room of an eccentric bookshop near King's Cross Station. I love travel, books, painting and chatting.
