Hello. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for reading and thanks for voting, if you do. Special thanks for commenting. I try to respond to any comments.
If you're looking for a TL;DR of what to go for of mine, I suggest the short story collections by year, starting in 2020. It's what I'm generally proudest of, personally.

I'm British, and write in (British) English about British things, so you might find the spelling, dialogue, and culinary and cultural references somewhat specific. There will almost always be a lesbian twist to my stories. I write mainly what the much-missed @TessMacKenzie once described as "nice smut" - i.e., fundamentally decent women getting on with each other (and usually getting it on with each other). I don't do drama, or Big Issues - although inevitably some of these find their way into my stories, as we can't ignore them in life.
I am busy IRL and only write when I have the time, energy and opportunity. I write for me, as and when it happens. If you find my writing 1) entertaining, 2) easy to read and 3) inoffensive: bonus. It's only up here because it pleased me.

Back in the weird days of Lockdown 2020, I found myself creating a fictional version of the county I live in: it seemed kinder on everyone not to be specific about place but root things in a specific 'somewhere'. This has proved very liberating, and several of my 2020-onwards scribblings are set in this fictional reality. Some of these places, and the characters who inhabit them across time, have bled across different stories.

Take care, be kind to yourself and others, and happy reading.
