Because of these ear-to-the-ground jobs the majority of my novels are set in Southend. In 2016 I moved to North Cornwall because I liked the idea of never-ending holidays - but I also write almost every single day. My aim is to write action-packed thrillers and page-turning mysteries that readers love and my hope is to get better at what I do with every book across each and every year.

When in Rome, as they say...-Getting out into nature as the weather allows.I look forward to hearing from you. Until then I'll keep on writing. Or running. Or surfing.
