edit data

I am a writer and translator, and have told myself stories for as long as I can remember.
Raised in Newark and Bradford, and having lived in various places around the UK, I now live in the bordelands between Wales and Shropshire.
Someone Else's Conflict, my debut novel, was featured as a Debut of the Month for January on the Lovereading site https://www.lovereading.co.uk/book/13.... My second novel, eco-themed psychological thriller Riverflow, was Waterstones Welsh Book of the Month in August 2019. I have also translated a number of successful novels from German and French into English.
