I'm all about the fun factor!

Personally, after a long day at work, I like nothing more than to get home from the toil and ferment in a boiling bath with a book. I like stories with a lot of imagery and motifs that carry me away from the natural world.
I love fantasy, supernatural, sci fi and horror.

When I write, I aspire to create a light-hearted, yet immersive experience for my readers. I try to incorporate a lot of what I like into my stories, in the hope the reader will enjoy it too.

I’m an eager writer who lives in the county of Nottinghamshire. (Yes my house is near Sherwood Forest; no I do not wear a green bycocket.) I live with my husband and our boyfriend (yep, we're a throuple), our three teenage children, and several very needy cat I'm all about the fun factor!

I’m an eager writer who lives in the county of Nottinghamshire. (Yes my house is near Sherwood Forest; no I do not wear a green bycocket.) I live with my husband and our boyfriend (yep, we're a throuple), our three teenage children, and several very needy cats. I’m the oldest of four rather eccentric siblings, who seem somewhat normal in comparison to our zany parents. I also have a small gaggle of comical nieces and nephews, who descend upon my home at regular, welcomed intervals. I dearly love all of the above named persons, and simply couldn’t function without them constantly adding colour to my life.

From a very young age, I’ve read fantasy and horror stories, marvelling at the words artfully adorning the pages. My first love affair was with a book written by L. J. Smith. Her Night World series awed my turbulent teenage mind and I couldn’t read enough of her work. Following on from that, I’ve fallen in love with many other authors including, Anne Rice, James Clemens, and Trudi Canavan. I find their writing to be both inspiring and enthralling.

I’m also a massive geek and will happily spend hours playing on RPG console games. Some of the most content moments in my life have involved me being tucked away with a bar of Dairy Milk Chocolate in one hand and my PlayStation pad in the other. I’ve lost hours without end to the likes of Final Fantasy, Suikoden, Zelda, The Secret of Mana, and Breath of Fire. These story-driven RPGs have had a profound effect over my creative psyche and probably influence my writing more than I dare to let on…

I sincerely hope you enjoy reading what I’ve written. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to think I’ve sprinkled a little bit of enjoyment into the lives of other people.

*Here comes the guys. All dressed in- erm... Ties!

So I just completed my most difficult project to date.

I've spent countless hours scrutinising the words, hoping to get them absolutely spot on! I've read and re-read, trying to imagine my audience's response. I've agonised for days, weeks and months, wondering if I've taken the right approach.
And finally, at long last, I'm drawing a line under it.
It's done.

My wedding vows are complete. (Unless th Read more of this blog post »

Dayton answered Goodreads's question: Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story? The shadow on my pillow leaned closer, pressing its lips to my ear. “You’re nothing but a spec on a minuscule rock, drifting through an endless abyss of nothingness,” it whispered.
