Written in the Stars
I have spent most of my life being tossed about at fate's whim and my two greatest passions in life: astrology and writing actually came and found me, more so than being conscious choices and once they grabbed me, they just would not let me go.
I have studied astrology since 1999 and have a qualification from the London Faculty of Astrological Studies. I have been a regular guest on BBCWM and BBC Shropshire as an astro-agont aunt, as well as making guest appearances on Fox FM, BBC Coventry and Warks, BBC Cambridgeshire, BBC Northants and The Debra Clement Show.
I wrote horoscopes for Asian Women Magazine
My flagship thriller is Next of Sin and my book HOROSCOPE 2014 was an Amazon Bestseller for most of 2014.
I won the American gem Literary Contest 12/13 with my thriller A Sealed Fate and Next of Sin scooped 4th place.
I have written 14 Astrology Books, 3 thrillers, a numerology and 10 health and diet books as well as an Indie Publishing PR book.
Although I initially studied Law at Uni, my secret ambition was always to act or work in the arts; but of course you have to keep the family happy by making some sensible decisions you know. I ended up with an Honours degree in Economics from Warwick University, however the economics and financial world never beckoned and so at 23 I took a pretty sharp left turn and decided to study astrology.
I have always loved helping people and I am fascinated by the meaning of life, destiny and karma and so I often think it was fate that prompted me to take this direction which in many ways has been a difficult route, but very revealing in terms of self-discovery. I was the resident astrologer on many local UK radio stations for many years. Although my foray into astrology may have left my spiritual life richer, my bank balance was a basket case, so it was back to the drawing board career wise and I began studying to be a Chartered Accountant. Bored to tears with studying audit and inspired by a pshychic who said I had a talent for writing, I decided to start writing a book one night. I finished my Chartered Accounting exams and two novels at the same time.
The strange twists and turns of my own life and my constant querying over whether I had a destiny or a fate inspired the theme of my first novel - A Sealed Fate."
I now write full time and I also help other indie authors publish, market and polish up their books. Right now I am working on my audio book version of A Sealed Fate and Next of Sin. When I am not writing you will find me campaigning for fair trials and human rights and watching cricket..not to mention cooking and writing to my numerous cyber buddies.
I am fanatical about health and I have also penned several books on diet: Paleo Diet, Depression and Diet, New Nordic Diet and Pressure Cooking Reinvented. All my books are available on amazon in ebook and paperback format
