I guess I've been inventing stories as far back as I can remember (mostly to keep me out of trouble), but began writing seriously after finishing an English studies BA as a mature student. My writing is influenced by everything from a love of reading all genres; films; music; raising my two daughters; hill walking; and much, much more. I tend to take all I know, throw it into a fantasy setting and see what comes out.'Fuel to the Fire' has been sitting on my hard-drive since 2005 waiting to be released. The follow up in the series: 'Ruler's desire' since 2007. They've occasionally been taken out for a polish and then put back, but now they're out there, on their own in the big-wide world. Hope you enjoyed them if you've read them. If you like my writing, look out for more releases in the near future.
