Having trained as a teacher and worked as a primary-school music specialist in London, she has lived in numerous UK locations but has now settled in Sandwich, Kent. She enjoys reading, theatre, playing the harpsichord and travel.
Her specialist period is mid-seventeenth-century England and her Civil War novels reflect this in their vast historical detail.
