I am a writer living and working in the North East of England.
I have previously written in various genres, including YA, children's and romance, then took some time out to study a BA in Creative Writing which turned my approach to writing on its head.
My current work is focused on literary fiction and the fragility of memory when it comes to recounting stories. I am very interested in stories that unfold through voice and atmosphere rather than plot, which is pretty much the polar opposite of how I started out.
I work as a Teaching Assistant in a primary school, hence the photograph, taken at last year's annual Colour Run.
