I live in Ontario, Canada but was born and grew up in Merseyside, England. By profession a chemist, I worked for many years as a consultant on international chemical regulation, a role with a lot of international travel.
So far, I have written and published The Catrin Sayer Mysteries (10 books) covering the cases and career of a Welsh police officer working for the Metropolitan Police in London. It takes her from a rookie detective through to the rank of superintendent, and a range of criminal investigations including art crimes, scams and fraud, organized crime, undercover work and supervision of a major homicide investigation.
My current work is a trilogy set in Cumbria, UK with a quite different protagonist; a community police sergeant, Harriet Calder; a widow and a part-time Methodist preacher. Canons, the first novel, was published in 2019. The second, Compline, has just been released (Sept. 2023).
