So, the short version: I write crime thrillers. I love cats, champagne and chocolate, and my guilty pleasure is watching true crime on TV. I used to get teased about it but now I just smile and say ‘Research’…
Want to know a bit more? Well, I studied English at Oxford in the 1980s, and went back to do a doctorate in 2003. By that time I’d spent 15 years in business, first in the City, and later in PR for Guinness (now Diageo), and after that I worked as a freelance copywriter, which gave me a a lot of useful experience and a healthy respect for meeting deadlines.
