About Me

I grew up in a home in South Africa that was full of books. After graduating, I became a secondary school English teacher in Cape Town before moving to London where I met and married my husband. I continued teaching except when my two children were young.

The idea that sparked my novel came to me one insomniac night, and it gradually developed into a psychological thriller about obsession and revenge.

I completed an online creative writing course. It helped to make the characters more compelling in my novel and infused the plot with tension. The harrowing incident in my novel was inspired by reading accounts of rescues on Cape Town's Table Mountain.

When I am not welded to my laptop, I enjoy reading psychological thrillers and spending time with my family.
