About

I am the author of two acclaimed psychological thrillers, The Poison Tree and The Sick Rose. I have just finished my third novel, which is due for publication by Hodder & Stoughton in early 2013. And I’m beginning to write my fourth.

I was born in London in 1976 and grew up in Essex. I read English at Warwick University and have been working as a journalist since 1998, writing for newspapers including The Sunday Times, The Sunday Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the Express and The Mirror, and magazines including Red, Psychologies, Marie Claire and Elle. I continue to write about health, lifestyle, women’s issues and parenting, and am a columnist at Mother and Baby magazine.

I live in north London with my husband and daughter.
