I am an Edinburgh based writer of historical fiction. I was born in Fife and originally studied English Literature at Edinburgh University. I spent most of my life living overseas in countries as far-flung as Vietnam, Azerbaijan and most recently, Egypt. I travelled extensively, including visiting Moscow and St Petersburg. Retelling history from the point of view of women is where the fun begins.
Edinburgh is a great place to be a writer and I am very active in the local writing community. I help to run two literary organisations here: The Edinburgh Writers’ Forum and the Edinburgh Women’s Fiction Festival.
