ABOUT ME
I lived in the chalky hills of High Wycombe when I was growing up. My first school was Oakridge Infant School. Then I went to Sands Middle School and finally to Wycombe High School where I was really lucky to have some great English teachers.
After my A’ Levels I went to the University of Wales Aberystwyth and lived by the sea for a few years. It was a great place and I was very reluctant to leave, but leave I did with a Joint Honours in Politics and Philosophy, and lots of good friends and great memories.
I’ve travelled extensively but read much more widely. I even got married in Manila, in the Philippines. I love world food, world literature and world cinema. Now I’m back in the UK and living in North London with a view of the woods and the changing seasons from the room where I write.
I’ve done lots of different jobs including teaching art, Batik in particular, but it was only when I went to live in the Middle East where I taught English, that I began writing, stumbling into it almost like a dare, and stubbornly refusing to give up even though the road was steep and full of gaping pot holes, some that I saw and others that I didn’t.
The Long Weekend is my first published novel.
It was shortlisted for the Fabulous Book Award 2010.
