Here are my three novels:
BEAST
My third novel Beast is available from all good booksellers and online retailers.
About Beast:
Beast explores how dreams and desires can both liberate or confine the dreamer. Eve, a young self-taught musician sits on a bench overlooking the grassy crossroads of a model village. She is dreaming of the power of music. Her dreams reach into the cosmos, summoning Demon and his rabbit familiar.
Eve longs to harness the divine in service of her music. But will she instead make a deal with Demon for worldly success? Demon dreads the terrible price he will pay for failure and thus begins a long battle for Eve’s soul.
SALT LICK
My second novel, nominated for the Women's Prize for Fiction. For more information and to buy click on the link below.
About Salt Lick:
Britain is awash, the sea creeps into the land, brambles and forest swamp derelict towns. Food production has moved overseas and people are forced to move to the cities for work. The countryside is empty. A chorus, the herd voice of feral cows, watch over changing times with love and exasperation.
Jesse and his puppy Mister Maliks roam the woods until his family are forced to leave for London. Lee runs from the terrible restrictions of the White Town where he grew up. Isolde leaves London on foot, walking the abandoned A12 in search of the truth about her mother.

TWICE THE SPEED OF DARK
My first novel. It is available in paperback if you search online, and will be republished soon, with this new cover, by Breakthrough Books Collective
About Twice the Speed of Dark:
A mother and daughter circle each other, bonded by love, separated by fatal violence.
Dismayed by the indifference she sees in the news to people who die in distant war and terror, Anna writes portraits of the victims, trying to understand the real impact of their deaths.
Meanwhile her daughter, killed by a violent boyfriend, tells her own story from the perplexing realms of death, reclaiming herself from the brutality.
Anna’s life is suppressed by grief; it is only through these acts of love for strangers that she can allow herself an emotional connection to the world.
