Early Life
I was born in Hastings, Sussex near the beginning of February and it was snowing the day I was born (so I've been told.)
My schooldays began in Hastings and continued in various parts of London during the war.
Was back in Hastings in 1945 and dancing round Winkle Island in the old town on VE night.
Family
I'm married to Leon and we have two daughters and five grandchildren.
Oh yes, and two cats.
We live in Selsey, in Sussex now and love it here.
Apart from family and friends my greatest interests are writing, reading, walking (on the flat), music hall, Victorian jewellery, Sussex stories and going to the theatre.
Writing
When we lived in Wiltshire I started the Warminster Writers' Circle and this has now been active for over twenty years.
It grew bigger and better after I moved!
This is a picture of some of the members when they come to Selsey to visit for their annual summer party.
Selsey Writers' Circle
I also started the Selsey Writers' Circle a few years ago.
Here is a picture of author Elizabeth Arnold talking to the group about writing for children
and Peter Lovesey talking to us about crime writing.
I hope you will enjoy visiting my website, reading the books, (or borrowing them from the library) and come again.
