I taught English for 44 years, mainly at sixth form level. I'm now delighted to have a new career as a writer, with four historical fiction novels to my name. I'm a former Royal Literary Fund Fellow at the University of Chichester, where I studied for my Creative Writing M.A. My new novel, 'The Child at the Window', came out on 23rd April 2026. Do check out my creative writing blog: www.wordkindling.co.uk I'd love to hear from you!
