It's hard being visible, so I've made myself invisible.

I studied literature design and fashion design.

I've rarely met a shoe I didn't like.

My early reviews were so bad that I decided I didn't want to read them again.

The usual way - through a long series of rejections, revising my manuscripts, and kept trying again and again. Finally I was fortunate enough to find a good agent.

I write about the things that happen to us all. The things that are tough, the things that matter, from a loved one fighting an illness, to losing a job, being betrayed by somebody you trust, all parts of the human condition. No one is exempt from those things.

I love what I do. I'm so lucky.
