About Me.
I'm a writer living amongst the rugged hills of North Wales UK, whose debut novel THE WOMAN IN THE WALLPAPER - a dark mystery set against the blood and turmoil of the French Revolution - will be published in the UK and US in February 2025.
The Woman in the Wallpaper was sold to Sphere (Hachette, UK) in June 2023, in a whirlwind twenty-four hour, major six-figure pre-empt, with North American rights selling to Union Square the following working day in a second six-figure pre-empt. Rights have since sold to Spain, Greece, Serbia, Russia and Hungary, with other territories to follow. Film rights are currently under negotiation via Grandview, Los Angeles.
​
After studying English Literature at Durham University, I began my career in the TV industry in London, reading scripts for ITV's drama department and writing factual programme content and comedy material for the BBC, Channel 4 and others. Married to a professional TV and stage magician, I also spent well over a decade working amongst the UK magic scene, gathering up its most intimate secrets.
​
Several years ago I moved away from the capital, relocating two hundred miles north to an 18th century farmhouse overlooking an ancient Welsh valley brimming with legends dating back millennia. It is here that I started writing creatively in earnest, as well as beginning the process of rewilding the sixteen acre plot around my home.
​
Passionate about writing original stories that will entertain readers, I'm currently drafting my second novel, as well as continuing to write and produce the unique interactive podcast THE MAGICIAN'S WIFE with my husband, professional magician Barry Jones. Equally as passionate about giving something back with my writing, I support a range of good causes through my work. You can read more about the charity I'm supporting with my debut novel, The Woman in the Wallpaper, here.
