"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, facing trouble with the law, 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.' Last autumn I appeared in a BBC documentary film about the fighting history of Epping Forest. I'm a member of the Romany & Traveller Family History Society, Romany Road, 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.

    Thanks for the add, Jennifer. We have lots in common - I'm a real folk and Irish music fan (don't know how many times I've seen the Chieftains) as well as a historical fiction writer. Hope your latest WIP is going well - I'm spending my time promoting my last one at the minute.
