A former audiobook producer and script-editor, these days, I am lucky enough to be able to devote most of my time to writing my own stories (whether blog, novel or screenplay) while my husband’s work takes us to a new city every 18months or so. Currently, we are in Bangkok, Thailand, and will be here till September 2013.
Beyond writing, my passions lie mostly in the stories of others: anime (Japanese animation); film (From Hollywood, Beijing, or Paris as long as the story moves me to tears, laughter or both!); and the history, mythology and spiritualities of the ancient world. I also love to cook (especially for friends,) try my hand at digital photography, and collect fountain pen inks and fountain pens in which to use them.
I live with my handsome, gentle, infuriatingly laid-back husband and our seventeen year old cat Brigid, named after my favourite Celtic Goddess – a name I also chose for my young protagonist in The Shadowkeeper.
You can also find me on Facebook, hanging around with other writers on Twitter, where I host a weekly tweet chat about the craft of writing fiction under the hashtag #storycraft, using the account @Story_Craft, and my photography at http://photography.narrativedisorder.com
Thank you for stopping by!
