I love to imagine myself in another world. Writing is a form of escapism and brings me immense pleasure; chocolate does too. I've worked as a scientific research officer, trained partially to be a midwife and studied Hotel and Catering Management. I worked for a few months in catering at the Common Wealth Institute, which was great fun. I have also worked as a Lab technician before becoming a writer. I have three amazing children and a Fantastic husband who doesn't read fiction but supports me nevertheless.
