Reviews

Praise for Nobodys Girl and Sins of the Father:

This pageturner is a gritty tale of survival. Tesco magazine.

'Heartbreakingly poignant and joltingly realistic. From the first page the characters and their lives drew me in. It combines wonderfully accurate historical detail with true gritty realism in a book that fans of misery lit won't want to miss.' Annie Groves, author of Some Sunny Day.

Full of drama and heartache.
Closer Magazine

I thought this was a thoroughly enjoyable read. In fact, I couldnt put it down!
Closer

This book kept me in total suspense until the end.

Author Bio

I was raised in South London, the streets my playground, and this working class area became the inspiration for my novels. My working life was varied, from shop assistant, secretary to The British Tourist Authority and Manager of a busy GP Group Practice. In the Eighties I moved to Surrey with my husband and two children, but in 1998 there was a catalyst in my life when my son, aged 27died. After working for two years with other bereaved parents in a support group, I took up writing and my first novel, A Cuckoo in Candle Lane, was born. My husband and I now live in Spain.
