Bio
I
was born in
Yorkshire, England, back when it was a picturesque county of woolen
mills, coal mines and sheep farms. I graduated with a joint honors degree in English literature and linguistics from the
University of
York.
Then I headed south to London, before following a friend to America. I never went home to live again. I settled in New York, pulled along by the fast pace, working on the fringes of theater, until I settled into business writing and marketing as a way to fund my fiction habit.
These days, married with two children, I live 50 miles north of Manhattan. Try and hold my own in cook-offs with my Italian husband. Family dinners, friends, good books, painting, writing, music and meditation are the simple pleasures that make life worth living.
I own and manage a marketing and communications agency where we try to help companies tell their story in a fresh way.

My
inspiration for The Painter's Gift was the idea that we create our
lives based on ideologies and belief systems that inevitably conflict
with reality.
When Claire Lucas loses her husband, everything she believes in falls away. Only then is she ready to turn inwards to experience the mystery of her inner life, the power of an inner guide and an inspiration that leads to The Painter's Gift--a visual gospel that uses imagery, not words, to bypass reason and transform the hearts of those who witness it.
