A lifelong bookworm, I always wanted to write, but for a long time I was too scared of failure to try. When my son left home for university, I decided to have a go. I was lucky, being shortlisted for a national literary contest, and my writing career took off from there.
I started writing for children and young adults but have more or less moved to writing for adults. To date, I have written 4 Ganagster School books, a YA fantasy called Icarus and Velvet, 2 Mudlark Myateries (the second one is being released December 24) and Evolution, written under the nom de plume, Zelda Conway.
