From Doormats to Divas: Witty British fiction about women who are sick of being sensible
I write witty, escapist fiction about women who’ve spent far too long being sensible – and finally decide it’s time to live for themselves.
Through friendship, humour and the kind of quiet rebellion that changes everything, my heroines reclaim their joy.
Sometimes with the help of a little magic.

A Little About Me…
Born in Liverpool when dinosaurs roamed the earth (1958, but who’s counting?), I spent many wild and wonderful years in London before settling on the soggy but beautiful west coast of Scotland with my third husband.
Before becoming a full-time writer, I worked as a stress consultant and personal stylist – proof that life is all about reinvention, something my heroines understand very well.
These days, I write stories about women who finally stop being sensible and start living life on their own terms – stories readers often describe as funny, uplifting and delightfully escapist.
