about me

I always return reads . . . although I'm not that speedy sometimes when I get swamped with the paying work:)
But if I've agreed a read, I'll get there eventually!

Contrary to my avatar, I'm London born and bred but was brought up in Sussex from the age of ten. I now live nineteen miles from Central London. I'm a freelance book cover designer and have worked in publishing for years.

Fledgling is now up on Amazon.com and I still can't get used to seeing it up there with the other 'real' books!
At the risk of 'doing a Paltrow' I really would like to thank the hundreds of fellow writers on here who took the time and trouble to comment and back Fledgling. You rock. All of you.

Huge thanks to the Authonomites who have now bought a copy of Fledgling, too. I think Mandi was the first, with Lallie and Sue close seconds! Thank you :)

I like the way you've built up tension from the beginning. The characters are good too, especially the bitchy stepmother with her matching children:) Nicely done and perfect for your YA market. Plenty of angst and things to rebel against. Good luck :) Berni x Renegades view book

Carissa, I loved reading this - five chapters in and I'm smiling and nodding my head - like I've met one of those and one of those - and thank heavens I'm married. Beautifully observed and very well-written. Every girl should have a copy :) Good luck Berni x view book

Hi James, You have some really great ideas here. I love the way the wolf is just behind Jack's eyes and ready to surface from his body. But for me, I would like a snippet from Kevin's demise at the very beginning, a real shock taster to draw the reader in. Then you could go back to Jack's awa... view book

Hallo Richard, I like your style of writing, it really pulled me into the story. Your description of the town is lovely too. I feel for the Duke and his room full of forgeries! (Or do I?) Personally, I think your first chapter is a bit too long and it could actually stop where your asterisk ... view book
