I was born in London the year man first stepped on the moon. In a previous life I had a variety of jobs including legal secretary, freelance web designer, office manager for a book publishing company and literary agent’s assistant. In 2009, I left the city for the sticks, emigrating to the Kent countryside where I live in an 18th century ex-bakery with my boyfriend and cat.

I'm passionate about writing, volunteering in my spare time to help out at events such as the Pighog Poetry Festival in Lewes. I also organise two annual events - Janathon and Juneathon - where 300+ participants exercise and blog every day.
