I began writing from a young age, however it was not until my husband, John, persuaded me to do something about it, that I set about writing seriously.

A love of history drew me to writing historical romances, the first of which A Sprig of Broom was published in 1979. A further five historical romances followed, and then, under my Grandmother’s name, Ellen Noone, I published five contemporary romances.

Having missed out on further education, I spent four years in higher education and spent a further ten years working as a Lecturer and Teacher.

I especially loved teaching ‘mature students’ people like myself who had for various reasons, not been able to continue their education.

After retirement and a long trip around Australia and New Zealand – in part backpacking – I once again took up my pen. Returning to one of my favourite themes, righting the wrongs done to the name of King Richard Third by Tudor propagandists, I wrote Seed of the Broom, which was published in e-book format.

I have written three new romances for publication through Whiskey Creek Press. The first, Fortune’s Folly was published in August 2006. Eden's Child and Beloved Deceiver were published in 2007.
