I write historical fiction, both novels and (occasionally) short stories. I have experimented with assorted time periods, but at present I am focusing on the Victorian era, and will be doing so for the forseeable future, as this is where my greatest passion lies. While preparing for Cover the Mirrors' release, I'm working on my third book. I have a particular fondness for the history of those who have been dismissed throughout the years, hence my interest in the lives of women and those not counted among the privileged few of the aristocracy.

Molly was fifteen when she began working with the dead... It is 1856 and Spiritualism is at the height of its popularity. Molly Pinner has left behind her childhood in the Preston slums and inherited her late aunt Florrie’s mantle as Preston’s most successful medium. It soon becomes clear that her aunt was something far more cunning than a magnet for the spirits of the dead, but Molly puts aside her qualms and takes well to her new trade. Molly’s relationship with her oldest friend, Jenny, is jeopardized when she begins a passionate affair with local businessman William Hamilton. Before she knows it, Molly finds herself married to a man she cannot love, and pregnant with a child she does not want. In desperation, she makes a decision that will cast her relationship with William in a completely new light. Trapped and traumatized, and longing to regain her friendship with Jenny, Molly is about to receive a blow that will turn her life upside down. It seems Aunt Florrie lied about more than just her ability to commune with the dead: a truth hidden for years is about to emerge, and it will threaten not only Molly’s livelihood, but her very life. Cover The Mirrors is a dark and zesty historical novel of distorted truths and suppressed Victorian desires. 2nd November 2007, Macmillan New Writing
