I have now moved back West, to Bristol, with my husband and son. It resulted in my debut novel Threadneedle, the first in my Language of Magic series. A world where magic gleams both light and very, very dark. A world where libraries made of books breathe dusty pages beneath the city and witch clubs serve up magical cocktails and vintage shops sell memories. I split my days between freelance work and roaming London, writing in cafés and libraries and any hideouts I could find, eating far too much cake and imagining a magical world hidden within today's London. I quit my job and wrote a book about magic. I worked as a journalist for various publications and at a creative agency, before finally doing what I'd always wanted to do.
