About Me
When I was a child I remember thinking ‘what a shame I can’t have several careers’. Little did I realise that I would be lucky enough to achieve that wish.I started my working life at the BBC and was the first newsreader on Breakfast Television when it launched. I presented a variety of television programmes and worked as a voice over artist.
As a mother of young children I took on producer roles developing a career in corporate and charity event production. But career number three was lurking in the shadows. I had written stories since childhood, and my first novel – a historical novel about the creation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa - was finally published in 2015. I have now written six novels, five of which are set in Italy – a country I love and which I visit each year.
