One Small Step: An Introduction (The Rookery) Kindle Edition

3.0 3.0 out of 5 stars 1 rating

Rosie was born a witch, but not a very good one, and her mother seems determined to keep it that way.
Growing up in The Rookery was not a place for normal conversation. Living in a retirement home for witches and wizards in medieval England, is rarely boring.
While Rosie appreciates the companionship of... most of the residents, she longs for friends her own age.
Though she should know that in a place like The Rookery you should always be careful what you wish for.
A spirit has begun to haunt her, one with secrets and an agenda all their own.
One Small Step is an introduction to a brand new Cosy Mystery series of whacky witches and quirky whodunnit’s.

“She is a master of suspense, intrigue and holding the reader’s attention”

I was born in Gloucestershire, England, right in the heart of the Cotswolds. After a few years, I moved to London and fell in love with the history which oozes through the old stones, and the medieval atmosphere that leaks from the beautiful old buildings. For many years, I researched the 15th century from original sources, and books in the British Museum. I worked there in the Department of Ancient Documents, a place which I adored, full of scrolls illuminated by medieval monks, and hordes of informative parchments.

My father was an academic and playwright, my mother was a retired teacher, and my sister was an author of fantasy. I had no other passion than books

I started writing. I kept it up and eventually started to write articles and short stories for current magazines and newspapers, and a reviewer for Books and Bookmen. That kept me busy until I married. A husband and three little girls (including identical twins) were a full-time job.

Writing again years later, more seriously this time, I wrote full-length books in all my favourite genres. I was accepted by one of the big top 5 publishers, and two of my historical crime/mysteries were published in the traditional manner. However, I found myself disliking the control system.

Now, happy and free, I self-publish and enjoy every minute of my writing. I live in Australia, adore the weather, the birds and the wildlife, and live a placid life during the day and a wonderfully exciting one in my dreams at night.

I have written fantasy and historical fiction. Very different genres, but all are crime mysteries in one way or another. I have finished my children’s series (Bannister’s Muster series, for middle-grade children), no crime here, but a vibrant mixture of history and fantasy. After this, I am moving onto a series of modern crime mysteries. I will, of course, keep going back to my two loves of history and fantasy.

Writing is and always has been my passion, now that I am able to do this full time, I am in my element and life couldn’t be better (a little more sunshine might help though).
