After attending Hornsey College of Art in the 70s, she began a career as a scriptwriter and trainee producer with British Transport films and later continued to write for the corporate sector in video, live events and, finally, online training. In 2003 it was time to take a sabbatical – a belated gap year – and travel extensively in New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Retirement has brought unexpected opportunities to write fiction and fulfill a lifetime's ambition.
This first novel brings together her own childhood memories of her home county, her mother's birthplace in Wales, and the reminiscences of grandparents and greatgrandparents from the era in which Eli's Secret is set. An unexpected invitation from friends to visit a sheep station in South Australia cemented her love for Australia and its extraordinary landscape. Her other abiding interest is photography. The cover of Eli's Secret shows the River Wye at Fownhope, and demonstrates the writer's skill with a camera.
