My writing credits include non-fiction articles published in international magazines, my local newspapers
and on the Web. I've also written e-books on genealogy and research specific to writers.

I've worked as an editor and proodreader on a number of book projects (see under 'Editing' link) and my
short stories have appeared in several charity anthologies including 100 Stories for Haiti, 50 Stories for
Pakistan, 100 Stories for Queensland, Shambelurkling and Other Stories, and Yesterday.

I co-wrote, with Lorraine Mace

The Writer's ABC Checklist

published by Accent Press in January 2010.

I've enjoyed tracing people's family histories for a number of years and wrote and tutored an online
course, 'Write up Your Tree' - a combination of research and recording family stories.

A keen interest in Herefordshire's local history has involved me in various projects for other writers as
well as for a local government department.

My book

Trace your Roots

is a fully updated version of a previously published book and is now published by Greatest Guides.

I was winner of

The Writers' Advice Centre for Children's Books

2008 competition with Betsy Fudge and the Big Silence
