I've told whoppers all my life, and find it very gratifying to validate this nasty habit by calling it 'writing'. Growing up in London, I was the worst student ever at a wonderful school, never went to university, never held down a job for more than two years, and didn't manage to hold on to my marriage either. I pretty much suck at everything except writing. But oh, what tales I tell!
Right now I'm working on a five-book series about a boy who quests through the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution and the Information Age for the truth of who, and what, he is. A WARNING TO THE CURIOUS is the first in the series.
Movies
Lord of the Rings, Lawrence of Arabia, Scaramouche, Shakespeare in Love, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and too many others to name.
Television
Supernatural, House and Scrubs.
Books
His Dark Materials, Bartimaeus Trilogy, Wuthering Heights, How Green Was My Valley, The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Once and Future King, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Starlight Barking, Hamlet, Dr. Faustus, Pride and Prejudice, Temeraire, The Eyre Affair, Tess of the D'Urbevilles, the list goes on...
Heroes
Any woman who can raise a family and still hold on to her individuality.
I'm a midnight scribbler, chocolate eater, and full-time daydreamer, with absolutely no sense of direction.
I moved from England to California thirteen years ago, and now pen tales of murder, magic and mayhem for teens with curious minds.
Thanks so much for your friendship and enthusiasm! I'm on (early September) deadline for Blessed now. Let me know if I can answer any questions about the series!
