I grew up in Bedfordshire, UK, and have been a bookworm for as long as I can remember. My love of reading soon turned into a passion for writing, and from an early age I was filling notebooks and floppy disks (remember those?) with the stories I’d invented.

I moved to Norfolk in my late teens, to study creative writing at Norwich Art School (now Norwich University of the Arts). After graduating, I worked as a magazine editor, marketer and most recently, a creative copywriter. But it was writing fiction - especially books that tug at the heartstrings - that was always what I wanted to do.

My love story The Sight Of You was published in 2020 in the UK - where it was a pick for the Richard & Judy Spring Book Club - and in 26 other territories around the world. The novel has also been optioned for film by a Hollywood studio, which I’m still pinching myself about!

I live in Norfolk with my husband, and am lucky enough to be writing fiction full-time now. I’m editing my third novel, and working hard on a fourth . . .
