Hi. Welcome to my official website, assembled with no web skills and much tooth grinding. Better things will come in the future, I promise.

I live in a corner of south east England with my husband, young son, whom I feel is destined to be Emperor of the Universe, and too many border collies. Occasionally we can be found at agility shows where our youngest dog likes to entertain the crowd at my husband's expense.

I write contemporary fantasy stories, some of which you can find on the web. I love the idea of contemporary fantasy, the idea that the strange and the mythic is hiding just around the corner, and you just haven't noticed yet.

Have you ever wondered what would it be like if monsters truly lived among us? Would they be as ordinary as us in their own way? What if monsters had to worry about making a living. What if they were capable of making mistakes and getting embarrassed, were shy or egotistical, or got drunk now and then?

Would a new banshee need a test before being allowed to scream a real death knell? Where would sirens go to practice their singing, and would they attract anything that heard it, such as passing pelicans? If a gorgon had a bad hair day would that mean a snake fight? What lives down in the wedges of an anechoic chamber? I wonder about these things, and some of them become stories. One of them is in the process of becoming a book.

The anechoic chamber is just a suspicion. At the moment.

Thanks for stopping by.

Rosie
