Hello and welcome to my website!

Sisters often feature in novels, so maybe it shouldn't be too surprising that my writer friend Lucy Lawrie and I both happen to have written books about three sisters at the same time! They are both psychological thrillers, but the sisters and the stories couldn't be more different. They are both available on Amazon now.

They seem like a lovely family. Until you meet Rosemary.
The Other Sister, my sixth stand-alone psychological thriller published by Inkubator Books, is about family secrets - I challenge you to guess the most shocking one of all!

She has no memory of her sisters. One of them would stop at nothing to protect her. The other has vowed to destroy her. Which one will find her first?
​​The Child Upstairs, Lucy's twisty, emotional novel, will have you caring deeply about the characters - and second-guessing everything until the terrible truth is revealed!  

On this website you will find information about currently available books and stories and future releases. There is a question and answer page, and a ​contact form via which you can get in touch if you like and/or be added to my mailing list to be the first to hear about new releases and offers. I have also included some links to other writers' books and blogs that I love.

Thank you for visiting!

About me

Having discovered early in my 'career' that I didn't have what it takes to be a scientist, I shuffled sideways into scientific and medical editing, which has the big advantage that I can do it while watching Bargain Hunt.

​I now live in the north-east of Scotland, by coincidence just half a mile or so from the tiny hamlet in which my great-great-grandmother Jane Renshaw, the wife of a shoemaker, brought up her eight children and where she is buried under a lichen-covered headstone in the graveyard. I hope she would not mind my borrowing her name.
