She lives with her second husband and cat in Oxfordshire, England.
Her recent novels include ‘The Cello’ (a fast moving chick-lit novel), ‘A Crown of Thorns’ and ‘Wedding Cake to Turin’. ‘A Crown of Thorns’ is available as an ebook and can be downloaded from a number of Internet sites.

Associate Editor: Tiara the Merch Girl
Tiara the Merch Girl has transformed from fan webmistress, to alternative education activist, to her current form of emerging performance artist and artsworker. Through her many interests and activities she has maintained strong principles of encouraging diversity, entrepreneurship, rethinking assumptions, and challenging stereotypes.
As a performance artist she delves into personal experiences and observances to create work that breaks away notions of her as the "Exotic Other", presenting herself as a whole person with complex aspects - from her relationship to Islam growing up to her fondness for Savage Garden.
She openly speaks up on cultural representation and appropriation within burlesque and other fringe performance art, which has both caused controversy amongst conventional established names but has also garnered support from other minority performers and participants.
Tiara aims to channel her interests, passion, and energy into providing more opportunities and exposure to creative people from underrepresented backgrounds and levels, while moving away from conventions that do not suit her community.
You can find out more about Tiara here and here.
