Since childhood I have always loved to read and soon graduated from The Famous Five, through Swallows and Amazons to the likes of Jacqueline Suzanne, Harold Robbins and Jackie Collins in my teens. In my twenties I discovered such fantastic writers as Tom Clancy, Frederick Forsyth, Clive Cussler, Wilbur Smith and Robert Ludlum to name but a few. However, it was not one of these greats who inspired me to write. It was a series of dreadful books by several someone’s I can't remember which prompted me to make real the notion "I could do better than this..."
So "No More Butterflies", my first novel, began. It took several years to write, with children, home life, husband and job all getting in the way at some point or other but eventually it was finished.
