About Me

I was born and bred in Midhurst (West Lavington, actually) but moved away at the tender age of 28. I had to wait until 2019 before I could move back for good, but meanwhile I was able to visit family and friends here frequently. So frequently in fact, that some may not have even noticed I had moved away.

Retirement in 2022 gave me the freedom to test the water in becoming an author. I had already dallied with writing, mainly through my studies, and had been a researcher for several years which I am continuing to do.  I just love delving through records and books, looking for facts and interesting comments. Becoming an author has given me the freedom to write about things that interest me. I would not have had the confidence or the knowledge to do any of this if I hadn't signed up to do 'Write That Book' run by Michael Heppell, so huge thanks go to him.
