Biographie:
Born in London, a long time ago, I eventually accomplished my first dream of joining the WRNS, part of the Royal Navy, as a Meteorological and Oceanographical Observer. Forgive the long winded description, but this was an achievement I am very proud of, even after all these years.When I rejoined Civvy Street and met my husband, we had two fantastic children. If continuing the theme of expanding on those things of which are most proud I would be here all day, so I won't even start, only quietly referring to them, with a proud mum smile, as 'The Kids'.Family established, I returned to my career and took up the mantle of furthering my education, and gaining an MA (Hons) Degree in Psychology. This was soon followed by a Postgraduate MSc in Urban and Regional Planning, finally qualifying as a Development Planner for Aberdeenshire Council. Unfortunately however, after a few years, illness decreed that I had to give up work for a while.It was during this time I revisited my love of writing. I had always spent time over the years penning my thoughts and never really expected them to go any further. But over the past couple of years I gained the courage to create a story that I finally felt confident enough to share with the outside world.Blue Star Rising is the first in a series, along with book two, Sapphire Tree. Royal Blood will be the third instalment of the Kelan Sagas and will be out in October 2023.A short story, Dragon's Eye, will be available free as an Ebook from September 2023, a tale that invites readers join the adventures of Jean and Nathan in the Kelan Sagas; or, for those who have already met our intrepid couple, another opportunity to join them on their exploits.I now live with my husband and other animals in Aberdeenshire, with many frequent visits from the grown up versions of 'The Kids'.
