Having worked for many years as a journalist, I began writing fiction five years ago, and have now written three novels and numerous short stories and pieces of flash fiction. In 2015 I graduated from the six-month Faber Academy Novel Writing Course and at the end of 2016 was delighted to win the Katie Fforde Contemporary Fiction Award, for an early version of my novel Wrecking Ball. While this is out on submission to agents, I’m working on a fourth manuscript.
