After working in the NHS with Autistic children and their families for many years, I took a change of direction and returned to an early love - writing! I did an MA in Creative Writing, and spent the following year completing my debut novel, 'The Loneliness of Survival'. Such a joy when Indigo Dreams published it on 29th August 2014!
'The Loneliness of Survival is an emotional, often traumatic read, but also has moments of great warmth and humour. My own mother was a refugee from Nazi Austria, separated from her family and her life in turmoil. The novel is partly based on her experiences, and those of many others in similar circumstances. It covers 100 years of the life of Anna, the main character, from her birth in 1914 to her hundredth birthday in 2014.
As well as writing - and promoting my book - I love to walk and cycle in the beautiful country and coast of my home area of Northumberland and the NE of England. Other interests are reading, films, theatre and music - and travelling when I get the chance.
