I worked as a medical secretary to an ophthalmic surgeon before going on to work as a legal secretary.  In 1980 I moved to Scotland with her husband.  I spent the next twenty years living in a croft on the outskirts of a village in the Highlands, and while there, managed a company involved in the offshore oil industry.  I feel Scotland is my spiritual home, which probably the reason why I used it for the setting of her second novel.

 An avid reader, I have always enjoyed writing and recounting stories– mainly in the form of letters to friends.  I recently completed an Open University course in writing fiction.  The House on the Shore is my second novel.  I am currently working on a third manuscript, Ring of Lies.
