I'm a sixty-something entrepreneur living in Staffordshire in the UK.
​​​​​​​I dream of a gentler life with two grown children and a grandson.
​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​ From an early age, I dreamed of writing stories that would enthral readers. Family and career put those dreams on hold.
​​​​​​​The pandemic of 2020 enabled me to finally start bashing the keyboard with my first novel G Strings and Gangsters.

​​​​​​​ In a past life, I worked as a police officer, the latter part as a detective in the inner city of Birmingham, one of the most cosmopolitan and challenging cities for policing in the UK. Those years provided me with countless sad, scary, humorous and tragic experiences and memories. I wouldn’t swap a minute of them. Each broadened my perception and perspective of the human condition and supplied me with valuable fodder for the Valentina series of books you will find on these pages.

​​​​​​​ In what little spare time I do have, I’m an avid photographer and keen family historian. My biggest shock was discovering my great-grandfather was one of the original ‘Peaky Blinders’. If they knew that when I applied, my police career would have stumbled before it started!

​​​​​​​ Valentina's story continues in Queen of Clubs and Winner Takes All.
