Life began with a conventional upbringing in London. After a brief adventure abroad in my teens, I settled down to married life with my husband.

Our lives revolved around our children. Those years seemed to pass in a blur. Once they had left home I filled my time with my hobbies, regular trips to the gym and regular Wine Club meetings with female friends and neighbours.

After my divorce, I began an exciting new adventure, which is still unfolding...

The inspiration for my debut novel came from the many hours I spent listening to my friends talk about their lives, loves and in some cases the lies they told to keep their fragile marriages together.
