When I was a child I remember thinking ‘what a shame I can’t have several careers’.  Little did I realise that I would be lucky enough to achieve that wish.I started my working life at the BBC and was the first newsreader on Breakfast Television when it launched.   I presented a variety of television programmes and worked as a voice over artist. 

As a mother of young children I took on producer roles developing a career in corporate and charity event production. But career number three was lurking in the shadows.  I had written stories since childhood, and my first novel – a historical novel about the creation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa - was finally published in 2015.  I have now written nine novels, four of which are set in World War 2 - a period of history that seems endlessly fascinating to readers and authors alike.
