Background
Information
I came to writing by accident. Research of my own family history led to the idea for several novels, the first of which has been published in November 2012. I was motivated to write the book because I was amazed at what I read during my research and was fascinated by the historical facts I was discovering.
I finished the book because the story and the characters became my new world and I could not wait to finish the story.
Writers like Lionel Shriver, Simon Mawer, Tom Perotta, Richard Yates, Anne Tyler, Patrick Gale, Christos Tsiokas and and and have influenced me.
