<p>I am a Geordie to my roots and a passionate supporter of Newcastle United. I love crosswords and have a love hate relationship with the compiler of the crossword in the Financial Times. I have a daughter who runs a dog walking business and a husband who fought with spaces and apostrophes in an attempt to turn my book into a readable format.</p>
<p>My fascination with my Northumbrian roots, the Victorian Era and the moral dilemmas surrounding John Ruskin have all come together in my debut novel 'Ruskin's Copper Shadow'. </p>
