About the author
A Little Bird Told Me is the first book I ever wrote, and it was a steep learning curve. It took about a year to get a reasonable initial draft. Despite being a voracious reader, I had no real idea about how to create a narrative arc, story beats, or how to find 'my voice'. Even though I have five books under my belt now, I'm still learning every day.
I'm a bit of a wanderer... I grew up in Humberside - as was, now East Riding of Yorkshire - and have since lived and / or worked in the US, Middlesex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Dorset, Somerset - the place that originally inspired Elderwick (see The Village), and North Yorkshire.
These days, I am extraordinarily lucky to live in the glorious countryside of Basse-Normandie.
I've always loved reading and I like to read widely, in fiction and non-fiction, because you never know what gems you might discover.
