About Me

I have spent most of my career working with words, most recently writing about homes and interiors for leading newspapers and magazines. Tell Me How This Ends is my first novel and I hope you enjoy it. I’ve also written a book about interior design – Victorian Modern – with leading photographer Rachael Smith.
