Historical fiction was a natural choice for me as a writer because I always enjoyed the research aspect of design, not to mention the attraction of boned bodices and the excuse to visit old and interesting buildings. My talks on my writing usually include research materials. I live in  glorious countryside close to the Lake District and divide my time between teaching and writing. My debut novel The Lady’s Slipper was short-listed for the Impress Prize for fiction.
