I have a house, a husband, 2.4 kids and an out-of-tune piano in the back room. I also have a ferocious love of words and a penchant for laughing at life's absurdities.
Pantomimes, Pyres and Pee; A Night at the Theatre with Elizabeth Bennet
Mistaken has its fair share of twists and turns, and it never hurts to drop a good plot bombshell in a public place—you know, to maximise the impact on your poor unsuspecting characters. The theatre might seem a clichéd choice of public venue, but in the absence of Netflix or Nando’s, it was popular evening entertainment … Continue reading Pantomimes, Pyres and Pee; A Night at the Theatre with Elizabeth Bennet

Fallen is (still) coming soon!
As a writer, peace and quiet, solitude, and time to be introspective is essential to me for the creative process.

Never fear! … Continue reading Fallen is (still) coming soon!

Befriending Anne
When I republished Mistaken under my own steam, I edited out some scenes to make way for a new epilogue. Here's one, from later in the story, that shows Elizabeth's stalwart attempt to befriend Anne de Bourgh. Enjoy! A happy sight greeted them upon reaching the lawn. Mr Montgomery and a small boy, whom Elizabeth … Continue reading Befriending Anne
