My Story
Half Swiss half Welsh, I was born in France and grew up in Valais, Switzerland, with stints in Italy and Norway.
I wrote my first fan fiction when I was seven, based on Walter Farley’s The Black Stallion series. My first loves were Enid Blyton’s The Famous Five and Secret Seven, published in French under the Bibliothèque Rose et Verte by Hachette.
An avid reader, I picked up everything that I could find – from my mother’s historical romance novels to my stepdad’s military biographies. I remember one year reading Kathleen E. Woodiwiss and General Schwarzkopf’s autobiography on the same holiday.
Since then, I have spent most of my professional career writing in some capacity – internal or external communications, academic articles, book chapters and books.
In what could be described as some sort of midlife crisis, I decided to finally take the plunge.
Here are some anecdotes and bits of information about my life that have made – or will make – their way into my books.
I think ultimately you become whoever would have saved you that time that no one did.
