Once a medical doctor in England, I now live in New Zealand. I write fiction and non-fiction books, and a blog.
After qualifying from the University of Oxford Medical School in 1970, my work experience included oncology, general practice and general psychiatry. I then decided to specialise in the psychiatric aspects of physical illness. I held clinical and research posts in Southampton before being appointed Consultant in Psychological Medicine at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford, with interests in oncology and palliative care. After moving to my husband’s native New Zealand in 2000 I studied natural healing, and ran a Bach flower practice for ten years.
Besides writing, my interests include animal welfare, choral singing, and visiting the local beaches and cafes.
