Biography: I was a publisher for many years, acquiring and editing fiction and non-fiction, for most of the time at Penguin with various stop-offs at other publishers. I left to become a journalist and was soon writing non-fiction tie-ins to TV programmes such as Place in the Sun, Grand Designs and so on. Following that I began to collaborate on a number of ghost-writing projects working with a number of celebrities. After a while, having learned a lot about voice and structure, I decided to try writing my first novel, What Woman Want. I really only wanted to see if I could do it myself, only to discover that I really loved writing and now, five novels later, I still am. My latest With a Friend Like You is out in Paperback in August 2015. And my latest House of Dreams will be published in November 2015. In February 2015 I was thrilled to be part of the Galaxy Quick Reads initiative for which I wrote Red for Revenge.
