About Me

Having enjoyed my formative years in Midhurst, I moved away at the tender age of 28. It took 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.

I returned as someone with more knowledge and experience, but still with an enjoyment in life.

In recent years, I have been very lucky in being able to spend time in Devon, where my partner lives. It’s a lifestyle that some can’t understand, but I suspect many might be envious of! We get free holidays when we visit each other, and space to do our own thing when we don’t!

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 research had been a prominent aspect of many of my jobs.  I just love delving through records and books, looking for facts and interesting comments; this has continued into my writing.

Becoming a self-published author enabled me to write about things that interest me. A new problem was born: how to whittle my interests down to a manageable list! I am very happy with the outcome. In fact, walking around Dartmoor and the South Downs has often helped my writing, as they spark the imagination.

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.
