From her website:

When I was a child, my family moved quite often around villages in Buckinghamshire. Changing schools frequently and living surrounded by fields to play in meant that I lived a lot in my imagination. By the time we moved to Northampton I’d already written several plays and ‘novels’, largely inspired by Dr Who and The Man from Uncle. On leaving school, I got a ‘proper’ job, but continued to write.

I’ve always loved Science Fiction and Fantasy, so when Cassandra SF Workshop was formed in the 1980s it combined my love of the genre with my love of writing.  Cassandra attracted established authors, including Ian Watson, Garry Kilworth and Bob Shaw, as well as those who’ve gone on to great things, such as Charles Stross and Simon Ings.

Redundancy gave me a push into a new direction–two new directions in fact. I went to university to get a BA (Hons), followed by an MA in Linguistics and Literature, and I supported myself by freelancing for businesses and the local press. That was a long while ago now. I still write for businesses, organisations and periodicals, but I have a growing list of publishing credits too. Among the highlights in recent years has been my stint as Writer in Residence at The Grid artists’ studios, which gave me the opportunity to experiment with new forms and create what a generous friend called ‘word art’.

There are several interviews and profiles scattered around the web, so if you’d like to know more, here are some of the places to visit–Alfie Dog Fiction, Goodreads, Smashwords and Writing Short Fiction.
