Beyond the words: My passions and pursuits

While writing fills much of my time, I also love to explore a variety of other interests. These hobbies offer a glimpse into my creative side and the things that inspire me. Come and discover what I get up to when I am not crafting stories.

Arts and crafts: A stroke of creativity

My artistic pursuits extend beyond the written word. I love getting lost in watercolour painting, and other mediums, crafting unique pieces of jewellery, and even designing my own book covers. It is another way for me to express my creativity and bring ideas to life.

The joy of music: Singing with Frenchay Foxes

Singing is a huge part of my life. I enjoy arranging songs and performing with the incredible Frenchay Foxes women's community choir. There is nothing quite like the camaraderie and joy of making music together.

Sporting passions: From the pitch to the green

When it comes to sports, I am an avid fan and participant. You will often find me cheering on Bristol Rovers FC or enjoying a game of T20 or ODI cricket. I also play lawn bowls for Henleaze Bowls Club and Gloucester County, which is a fantastic outdoor pastime.

"For me, creating isn't just about selling books—it's about sharing a piece of who I am.
My other hobbies show more of my creative side, more of me."
