The Girl from the Opera House

I was born and bred in the Black Country, that part of the West Midlands that lies between the eastern fringes of Wolverhampton and the western edges of Birmingham. Dudley was my home town and though I have travelled widely, I still live no more than 6 miles from my birthplace.
Socially, I used to love going out with friends to dances, and to concerts by famous rock and pop groups. I married in my early twenties and had a son. My second marriage blessed me with a spouse and a ready-made stepson.
I always knew I would become an author, but there never seemed any rush. Throughout life I have been a compulsive ‘people-watcher’, and I believe this has given me a clear insight into human interactions – male and female – especially when it comes to relationships. So, my stories spring from the broad canvas of human nature. The characters that populate them have often been inspired from life, as have the situations I sometimes place them in. Many such characters have been embellished, some not.
I admit that whilst writing is a very fulfilling occupation it is a solitary one. I am lucky inasmuch as I still find time to enjoy other things with my very understanding better half, and lead a full and active life.
I hope you’ll read my novels and that you’ll enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
