I was born and bred in Sheffield 'a true Yorkshire lass' as they say, from a local community and raised by creative parents, hence my desire to pen poetry and limericks from an early age.
I began my literary journey in 2010 when I began writing just to see where it would lead, self-publishing 'An Ordinary Life' by Karen Smith. Since then, I haven't looked back and fulfilled my ambition to write a successful ghost story, The Healing published in 2014.
