About My Writing
My writing life is divided between working as a freelance magazine editor and my 'real' work as a writer of fiction.
I have recently begun to concentrate more and more on my own work and have several projects I would like to see through to completion. These include 'Entertaining Angels', my mystery novel set at the beginning of the 20th century; 'The Brotherhoods', a 10-episode TV sitcom featuring four generations of the same half-English half American family, as well as a whole range of short stories from horror to romance in genre.

A young Belgian couple kipnap a baby from a popular Parisian gypsy singer and when their blackmail efforts fail they dump the child with a family in Kingston. The unsuspecting child grows up to become a famous singer, but after a visit from a mysterious stranger she sets out to find her true identity. Even her affair with the son of one of Hollywood's first movie moguls and successful appearances in the best Los Angeles nightclubs do not divert her from her goal of finding out who she really is.
