BIO

I live in Kent in the UK with my husband and fellow psychological thriller author, A J Wills, our teenage sons, Oliver and Thomas, and two very demanding cats.
I worked as a journalist and police press officer before becoming a full-time author in 2019.
Endlessly fascinated by people and their fears and foibles, I love to discover what makes them tick.
I write dark, domestic thrillers about ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
When I'm not writing, playing tennis or attempting to run a 5K, I can usually be found people-watching in my favourite cafe.
My debut psychological thriller When She Finds You was followed by Should Have Known Better in 2020, and No One I Knew in 2021.
My fourth thriller, The Promise You Made, is due for release in November 2021.
