I was born on the south coast of England and spent my early life dancing professionally before becoming a producer of creative corporate events. Relocating to East Devon, I became involved in local government in addition to fulfilling many speaking engagements around the West Country. My daughters are both successful authors, and I look forward to the times they come home to sample the green hills, red cliffs and numerous cafes of our little town by the sea. I hope you enjoy 'Dancing into Danger', the first book in my quartet of Second World War novels.

I am currently finalising the next book in the series. This centres on Phoebe, a farmer's daughter, who, although she doesn't travel around the world during the war years as her three friends do, is no less surrounded by danger and difficulty at every turn as she struggles to keep the family farm viable while fulfilling the government's food growing quotas. Her personal life is interesting, as she first became engaged to a soldier and then found herself attracted to an Italian Prisoner of War. The title of this second novel is:' A West Country War'
