- In my spare time, if I'm not reading, I'm:
- Working on my next children's adventure novel, watching a good movie, walking the dogs, going to the theatre, browsing the antiques stores or rummaging through stalls at the local flea market.
- About Me:
- I can't remember NOT having a book in my hand. My schoolmates called me a bookworm, and nothing's changed since then. I was brought up on the children's classics because my parents are also avid readers. My earliest story-telling talents came to the fore when, from the age of ten, I entertained my three younger brothers and their friends with serialised tales of children undertaking dangerous and exciting exploits, which they survived through courage and ingenuity. Writing a children’s book—The Secret of the Sacred Scarab—was an unexpected step, inspired by a recent trip to Egypt. The tale of the sacred scarab began life as a little anecdotal tale for my 2 nephews (then 10 and 12), who had accompanied me on the Egyptian trip. This short story grew into a children’s book, the first in the adventure series, Chronicles of the Stone. I'm already immersed in the next book in the series—The Search for the Stone of Excalibur—a huge treat for young King Arthur fans. Although I do not have children of my own, I have an adopted teenage foster child, from an underprivileged background who is just discovering the joys of reading for pleasure. My interests include literature, art, theatre, collecting antiques, animals, music, and films.

- Hi Fiona,
Thanks very much. I was thrilled the publisher allowed me to do the artwork and design the cover. I can certainly return the compliment to you. Exceptional work on your cover and the web site. You have really captured the feel of Egypt. I'm looking forward to reading the book.
