About Me

I grew up in Brighton and left school at sixteen to run away to London with dreams of being a writer. On realising that I needed a proper job too, I went to work in an office. 

Throughout my fifteen year corporate career, I survived many dull meetings by writing a cheeky scene or two, until I could bear it no longer and collapsed in a heap and begged the Lovely Husband to support me while I lounged on a chaise and waited for the muse to arrive. He’s now living in hope that I’ll become rich and famous so he can retire to sun himself by an infinity pool somewhere exotic. Who am I to shatter his dreams….

After escaping office life, I won a competition to write the weekly City Girl column for The London Paper. To read all about my bonkers life as a columnist, please take a look at the ‘How I Became A Writer’ page, it shows how anything is possible in this crazy world.   

I live in a rural village near Brighton with my Lovely Husband, adopted and utterly adorable daughter (fondly known as QT) and two very shiny black Labradors. My passions are laughing, reading, handbags, reality TV and staring at pictures of Tom Ford and Tom Hardy… for research purposes, obvs.
