Author has written 22 stories for War, General, Essay, Fable, Love, Historical, Biography, Thriller, General, Humor, and Action. Dapper, romantic, pocket-sized and definitely off-the-beaten-track. I have a great many interests and a very dry sense of humour. Politically I'm a libertarian Conservative and my writing generally reflects that. I live in London, in West Dulwich. When I'm not writing I proudly serve the people of this great city, Monday - Friday at City Hall and as a Conservative candidate for Lambeth Borough Council in my spare time. I have recently realised that I have two muses - my boyfriend Liam, who is a film maker, and sloe gin... My writing interests are varied, but at the moment I'm working on what I hope will become my second novel. My first can be bought from www.themercyofclouds.co.uk. Get in touch if you love/hate my writing, I'm equally interested in both points of view. Feel free to absolutely rip the crap out of my stuff if you so choose... | |||||||||||
