Hello, and thank you for looking me up. I have been an actress for all my life, both on stage and many television and film credits. I also write crime novels- so this web is about both sides of my bow
On the acting front: I have recently appeared in a short film for film festivals.
I have been in the afternoon soap DOCTORS for BBC. Also, quite recently, I went back to my theatre roots and toured in a new play.
I played a leading role in another short film entitled AFTER HOURS, alongside Gary Shail, Brian Murphy, and David Barry, and it was such fun, I have put it on my acting page for your enjoyment.
There is more about my acting assignments on acting page on this web on there, you can also see another short video of some my work.
The crime novels I write, are police procedural, they feature a Murder Investigation Team of detectives, based in South London, where crime is pretty tough. I write how it is – and I do a lot of research although all my work is fictional.
My latest book is called The BURNING QUESTION. Thankfully, it has received great reviews. If you are a crime reader I hope you may get it from the library, or if you buy books, you can order it from your local book shop, or direct from Amazon. The story takes place when a serious of women are being targeted by an arsonist, they live no where near each other, so the police are desperately trying to find a link to the women. A new police recruit knows more than she dare tell, but her conscience is knocking at her. There is the usual bit of romance in this story too, and again it features DCI Paul Banham and DI Alison Grainger. They are both of different opinions on which way to take the investigation, but then a piece of valuable information finds its way to them. However, it leads them and their team into serious danger, and the clock is ticking against another attack. Then something happens which no one expected.
This picture was taken at my book launch. Me with my very dear friends Vicki Michelle and Debbie McGee.
All my other books are still available. Recently my first three books, ‘BEHIND YOU, SECRET REMAINS and KILLER LOOKS were reissued. ‘ BEHIND YOU is set backstage in a pantomime where a murderer is stalking and the actors are being killed off one by one. SECRET REMAINS is set in a strip club where a murder takes place and the wrong person goes to prison, twelve years later when he is freed another murder spree starts – but is he really the killer? KILLER LOOKS is about a Marilyn Monroe follower who kills off Marilyn lookalikes, but why? Available, as all my books are, on Amazon, or to order from bookshops. Again more about them on my writer’s page.
Many thanks for all your lovely letters. I love to hear what you think. There is an e-mail address under contacts- if you want personally dedicated copies for presents, or for yourself, please e-mail me and I will sort it. Also the ‘Events page‘ on here will tell you where I will be giving talks and doing signings. So, if you are in the area, do come and say hello.
Incidentally, I am always grateful to get reviews on anything. You can write them directly to Amazon who will print them. It really does help when you are an author. And, this way I can strive to get better.
I have also started a dogblog, so if you are a dog lover, or a dog owner you may enjoy checking it out: Caninesinkent.co.uk
I love to hear about your dogs, places you have been with them, and anything doggy related which may help other canine owners, especially around the area of Kent. There is page on there for you to ask or tell anything about dogs.
I send all good wishes to you and wish you a happy, healthy, and safe year.
