ABOUT ME

ts-16.jpeg

I was born in Surrey, in the south of England, and read English at Oxford University.

Upon graduating I joined ITN as a news producer.

I reported and produced regional and world stories, travelling to hotspots and war-zones all over the

globe, before leaving bullets behind to become

a full-time writer.

Since then, I’ve written more than a dozen novels, numerous short stories, and two non-fiction books, which have been published internationally and translated into more than twenty languages.

In recent years, I’ve moved away from writing women’s fiction and towards darker psychological thrillers,

which seem to suit my personality better - make

of that what you will.

As well as writing fiction I continue to work as

a journalist, and also teach reporting for media and creative writing at a university in the North-Eastern US.

I live in Vermont with my husband, and am visited intermittently by my three grown-up children whenever they need their laundry done.
