BIO

I am an author writing in the fantasy genre, with two published novels to my credit-- Legends of the Serai and Lady of the Lakes.

Legends of the Serai is published by Dragon Moon Press while Lady of the Lakes has been re-released by Zumaya Otherworlds, the SF/F imprint of Zumaya Publications.

The sequel to Lady of the Lakes will be released next year while the third and final instalment in the Silver Lakes trilogy is still a work-in-progress at the moment.

My poems, all fantasy-themed, have appeared in various fantasy magazines. You can check out some of them (and the photos that inspired them) on the Poetry page, or simply click on the links below.

My non-fiction writing includes book reviews and travel articles. Follow the links below to read some that are currently published online, or check out my Non-Fiction pagesead my published travel articles and reviews of recent movies and great books.

I was born in Hong Kong, educated in England, spent ten years living and working in beautiful Vancouver, Canada, and recently moved to Toronto where I now live with my husband Andy. We'll move back to Vancouver one day, but for now, we keep each other warm in the sub-zero conditions that appear to be a norm in this part of the world.
