Hello and welcome to my website!

I've always been fascinated by nature's clones, identical twins, so it was fun thinking myself into the heads of twin sisters Sarah and Evie, the main characters in The Child Who Never Was, my new psychological thriller published by Inkubator Books and now available on Amazon. Mentally ill Sarah's 18-month-old son Oliver is missing, but no one believes that she even has a child. Is Oliver a figment of her imagination, or is something more sinister going on? This is my second standalone psychological thriller published by the wonderful team at Inkubator Books.

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 friends' 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.
