About

Hello, I’m a non-fiction author, published by Quadrille, Octopus and David & Charles. I live in a leafy corner of the UK and I write books about living in tune with the seasons and creating a happy and nourishing home. In a busy world, I want my writing to feel like a safe and warm place for you to settle and rest for a while.

Before going freelance I spent 20+ years as a lifestyle journalist writing for, and editing, leading interiors and garden titles. You might have spotted my words in magazines like The English Home, House Beautiful, Real Homes or Gardeners’ World. Or perhaps seen me pop up on judging panels for design awards such as the Evening Standard Home Design Awards and Grand Designs Live.

These days I focus on writing my books and running my Seasonal Living Community. I can mostly be found writing, drawing and thinking up new creative schemes in my tiny wild home in the English countryside. If I’m not at my desk, then I’ll be outside, planting more herbs and trees than my tiny garden has space for, listening to birdsong or looking up at the skies.

Why not come along for the journey and see what happens next. Sign up to my free Seasonal Living newsletter and I’ll keep you posted with all my latest news.

If you’re a fan of forests and folklore, and you like the idea of lighting Midwinter fires, watching May Day sunrises and weaving a little magic into your home, then I think we’ll be friends.

I’ll send you regular posts on slow living, seasonal magic and a sprinkling of folklore and mythology. You’ll be the first to hear about new book releases, get exclusive content and occasional freebies.

Look forward to seeing you there!
