I write historical fiction, non fiction and biography.

After gaining an MA in English Literature with the Open University in 2007, specialising in eighteenth-century fiction, I published my first historical novel, To The Fair Land, an eighteenth-century thriller set in Bristol and the South Seas.

My historical novels to date are To The Fair Land; and the Dan Foster Mystery Series comprising Bloodie Bones (joint winner the Historical Novel Society Indie Award 2016; semi finalist for the M M Bennetts Historical Fiction Award 2016); The Butcher’s Block (IndieBRAG Medallion, Chill With A Book Readers’ Award), Death Makes No Distinction (Indie BRAG Medallion; Discovering Diamonds Book of the Month; Chill With a Book Premier Readers’ Award), and The Contraband Killings (Indie BRAG Medallion).

The Fatal Coin is a prequel Dan Foster Mystery novella.

Non-fiction books are The Bristol Suffragettes, and The Road to Representation: Essays on the Women’s Suffrage Campaign). I have also made contributions to a number of other publications (listed below).
