About
ME

I caught the travel bug after an early childhood spent abroad (Angola, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Belgium and Italy) and have worked as cabin crew for a major airline. I now live in Hampshire with my three sons and I still love to travel as much as possible.

The Perfect Girlfriend was my first novel, released March 2018. It is a psychological thriller about a sociopathic flight attendant, Juliette Price. The book is rooted in my work experience, but not autobiographical! I realised early on in my flying career, that the moment I changed out of uniform, I became anonymous. It made me think about the identities behind uniforms and work personas and became an idea that would later help create my protagonist.

The Last Wife is my second novel. It is mainly set in the New Forest (an area I love and where I spend a lot of time) and was published in 2020. Marie Langham takes over over her dead friend's life, only to discover that she didn't know her friend, Nina, as well as she thought. Nina's secret past now threatens Marie. Many things sparked the themes for this book including my interest in psychotherapy, and another, my fascination with how well we can ever truly know someone.

The Ex-Husband is my third thriller which is about a former con-artist who finds the roles are reversed when a former victim seeks revenge. This was the book I wrote during lockdown. It’s set on a superyacht in the Caribbean, and it was amazing to be able to escape to sunnier shores!

My fourth book, The Contest explores, once again, my love of travel and the behind the scenes work behind the seeming glitz and glamour of some trips. One of my first ever jobs was in a travel agency and I loved flicking through the glossy pages of the brochures. 

For my fifth book, One Night Only, I once again returned to the airline world, and this time, the protagonist, is a pilot, named Nicole. I was lucky enough when I was working as crew to sit in the cockpit for take off and landing many times and loved flying over places such as Mount Kilimanjaro. In One Night Only, Nicole is trapped in a loveless marriage despite having the freedom of travelling the world. Where possible, I try to immerse myself in the world of my characters so my sons and I completed a simulator experience in a mock up Boeing 737. Luckily I am not Nicole :) as I wasn't very good!
