About Me

I was born and raised in an ex-mining community in the northeast of England and also lived in South Africa. I currently live in Denmark but will be returning to the UK in 2025. I worked as a social worker for fifteen years. Inspired by my personal and work history, I have a strong commitment to equality and social justice. The character casts of my stories tend to be diverse because that is my experience of life. I also prefer to centre people that live on the margins of society, showcasing their strengths as much as their battles.
