Hello and welcome to my shop.

I am the author of 99 Red Balloons, 11 Missed Calls, Only a Mother, and The Woman Downstairs.

I live in Lancashire in the UK with my family. I love the north of England, setting most of my stories in the area – including the novel I am writing at the moment.

‘An intelligent, taut and compelling thriller’ Sam Carrington, bestselling author of Saving Sophie
