I grew up in Wales, in a tiny house full of books and tales of magic, but I didn’t take my writing seriously until my forties, when I realised that life is far too short not to follow your dreams.

With a lifelong passion for nature and more than two decades of experience advising companies on sustainability, my writing is deeply influenced by my love of animals and the natural world.

I’m also a creative mentor, supporting other writers through my Writing Scared Substack essays and one‑to‑ones. I’m also the founder and organiser of Bracknell Book Fair.

When I’m not writing, I’m usually reading, gardening, torturing my cello, or dreaming up ways to sneak another houseplant past my surprisingly tolerant husband. I’m slowly turning our home into an indoor jungle, though I'm not sure my Mr. Wonderful has caught on to the full extent of this plan just yet. Either that or he’s just humouring me...
