About the Author

I have enjoyed writing articles and short stories for a number of years as a hobby. I have been published by local magazines but great fame has not yet come my way. I work full time as a Receptionist and I am a Charity Fund Raiser for my Company. Over the last two years we have raised £53,000 for Macmillan Cancer Relief. This is my first novel and presently I am writing its sequel called Yellow and Red.
