I live with 1 exhausted husband, 2 lively children and an angry dog. During the school holidays our household is doubled when my 4 step-sons come to stay.  As soon as I arrive home from work and when supper and homework has been completed, the dog and I hide in my shed where I write for several hours leaving the teenagers to bicker over tv programmes and eat ice creams.

I've been published in the You're Not The Only One Anthology, which raised money for the charity War Child (for more details, please see my blog) and My Weekly.
