Years of trying and a drawer full of rejections, later, I came through the Scheme to win the New Writers Award (now the <em>Joan Hessayon Award<\/em>.) with <strong>Dark Canvas,<\/strong> my first published book.<\/p>\n<p>I was born near Manchester, am married and live in Bedfordshire and have three fantastic youngsters\u00a0\u2013 all adults\u00a0now \u2013 but still close by.<\/p>\n<p>I worked in the local mobile Housebound library for nine wonderful years, and then was re-deployed to a local library until 2014.
