Having worked in veterinary nursing, animal rescue and lecturing for my regular day job for most of my working life, I am now a full time author:
A Dog Like Ralph, Lilac Haze, A Soldier Like Jack The Diary of a Human and a Dog (or three!)
My vegan cookbook is imaginatively entitled Vegan Cookbook! I love animals and despise any form of animal cruelty. I’ve been vegan since 2002 — my only regret about this is that I didn’t become vegan sooner. I dream of a world in which there is no human or animal suffering, one in which governments across the world take seriously (and act upon) the threats posed to our fragile environment and its people and animals. This love of the environment plays a part in my novel Picture Me Now. I have also published a budget-friendly gluten free vegan cookbook: The Indie Gluten-free Vegan
I live in Scotland with my husband, son, and three rescue dogs. Like most writers, I love to read, and particularly like to read books about animals. On here you’ll find some reviews of books that I’ve read and loved in which animals are the main focus.
I’ve just ventured into proper fiction, with my first book of this kind – Picture Me Now – having been published in summer 2021. For anyone disappointed it’s not another dog book, there are plenty of animal characters parading its pages. I’ve had to delve into the depths of my imagination much more than with previous books and I hope you enjoy reading it. I thoroughly enjoyed getting lost in another world and have another few fiction books on the go!
For dog lovers, my next book will return to our canine friends.
Watch this space 🙂
