I have always had an interest in writing from an early age and was a member of a local writers group for a while. I am a member of the Writers Workshop in Sheffield and an active member of the Sheffield Authors group.
I have attended a Crime Writers Retreat with Clare Mackintosh and CL Taylor. I have also attended the Harrogate Crime Festival.
My main writing interests are writing crime and murder mystery.

DRIVERLESS CAR BANS THE SWAN FAMILY
I also have a passion for cars and in between writing crime novels I have been writing a monthly blog about driverless cars (https://wordpress.com/view/driverlesscars.blog).
The blog takes a lighthearted look at everyday situations that driverless cars may face and what they will need to overcome on their journey to taking over roads across the world.
These blog articles have now been updated and compiled into my book “DRIVERLESS CAR BANS THE SWAN FAMILY” and is now available to buy on AMAZON
