Hello, and a warm welcome to my website!

I am a writer of historical fiction told from unusual perspectives or unheard voices. My novels explore turbulent times, social change, and ideas and themes still relevant today.

London, 1928.

Eleanor and Edward Hamilton have wealth, status, and a happy marriage—but the 1929 financial crash is looming, and they’re harbouring a terrible, shameful secret. How far are they willing to go to protect their charmed life—even if it means abandoning their child to a horrific fate?

I’m delighted to be giving a talk at Stoneleigh Community Library on Thursday 12th June at 7 pm alongside fellow historical novelist, Matt Graydon. It will be a relaxed and informal evening, and it would be lovely to see anyone local there! It’s a free event, but please email in advance to reserve a place at stlibraryops@gmail.com. Thank you!

I’m very excited to be travelling to Las Vegas on the 25th June to attend my first Historical Novel Society Conference! I’ll be on a panel with brilliant historical novelists, Hazel Gaynor, Gill Paul and Amanda Geard. We will be talking about crafting dual timeline novels. I can’t wait to meet other writers, readers and history buffs at the conference between 26th and 28th June.

Are you a writer? Whether a newbie or established, sometimes we all need a little help, whether that be with getting started, stuck in the middle, struggling with plot or character. Or maybe you have a question about publishing or agents. If so, I, together with four other wonderful authors: Nikki Smith, Eleni Kyriacou, Charlotte Levin and Louise Hare have set up The Author Clinic. You can book a one hour paid video chat with any one of us to talk through any issue relating to writing or publishing and we will do our best to help you solve it. We have just launched on Instagram and Facebook - check out our page for more information.
