About the Author
Originating from London, I moved to Norfolk in my late twenties with a young family, and after attending university as a mature student, I spent most of my career teaching. However, it was always my dream to become an author, and enjoyed writing as a hobby for many years with a particular interest in murder and the criminal justice system. That was until lockdown freed me from all work-related responsibilities, and the opportunity to write my novel was there for the taking. It was a labour of love, but I enjoyed every single second of it and I’m already hard at work on the sequel.
