I’m a writer of Historical Fiction and a Cultural Historian.
My debut novel Anaesthesia is a love story set against the background of drug addiction in the First World War.
My current novel Cinnamon Breeze (published 10 April 2026) is the coming-of-age story of Lisa Strang 17 (Jan and Lucy Strang’s daughter from Anaesthesia). It is narrated from Lisa’s point-of-view in the style of a young woman from the 1930s. The story follows Lisa to Northern Sweden where she experiences the dreams, loves and challenges of a teenage girl growing up against the background of a Europe on the edge of war.
Both books are available from bookshops as well as on Amazon , Kindle and Kobo.
I have always been astonished at the varying views of history and how they change with the times and political climate. Many of us developed our sense of history through BBC TV dramas and Hollywood interpretations. In my books, I want to say, ‘It wasn’t like that at all. Listen to my story and I’ll tell you what it was like ….’
