Just published - I finally made it! "Charity's Child" comes out on June 16th 2008 - it's a story of what happens to a young girl in a strict evangelical Christian group when she becomes pregnant.
Background
Information
"Charity's Child" was born out of my experiences in Christian churches and house groups in the 70s and 80s. I find religion and its effects on peoples' lives fascinating. I've also had a lot of experience of mental health issues and this, too, comes out in my books. Apart from that - just life, I suppose. I like to find humour in the bad times as well as the good. Favourite authors: Hilary Mantel and Jonathan Coe.
Birth Place
Castleford, West Yorkshire, UK
Accomplishments
PhD in Cognitive Science, 1994 (is that relevant, you may well ask?) I'm also a qualified teacher. And I have a number of swimming certificates and medals!
