About the Author

I was born in Liverpool, north England, in 1963.

I had already had my first taste for the publishing industry when ten years of age I wrote a short story for the local paper "Liverpool Echo" and received a two pound postal order through the post.

On leaving school in 1979 I worked for my Auntie Marie and my mum Eileen who both owned hair salons. I decided I wanted my own hair salon and so I opened up a unisex (men and women) salon in 1982. This was a time when men were having their straight hair permed and using unisex salons instead of barbers.

At aged twenty one I cycled with my twin sister 360 miles from Liverpool to Lands End and raised ten thousand pounds for Motor Neurone Disease.

My best deed was rescuing a girl aged nine, left alone on Lime Street station Liverpool, when one thousand people passed-by unnoticed to the child's dilemma.
A couple of years later from hairdresser I changed my trade to a mini market which I greatly enjoyed. My last venture in England was a public house in the city centre of Liverpool. I never worked for anybody, I was always self employed.

In 2002 I travelled to Spain from England to start an estate agency business. It was a business I knew because I had some experience of selling property in the late eighties in-between businesses.

I now live in Spain with my husband Richard and daughter Chloe.
