A lifelong love of Dartmoor populates her writing with witches, Wisht Hounds and the Wild Hunt, while her childhood home of Essex brings the padding paws of Black Shuck and other spectral black dogs. She has published two books in her 'Heat of the Hunt' trilogy, written for numerous magazine and University journals, plus had her short story 'Fenland' recorded for the British Library Sound Archives.
