    About Me

Creator. Writer. History Enthusiast. 

I tell well-researched and highly readable stories about powerful women in extraordinary circumstances. Readers are transported to other times and places, inspired to be authentic in their own lives.

​

As a proud British royalist, I've been fascinated with the English monarchy - from the early days of the War of the Roses, through the Tudor era, the trials and triumphs of England during World War II, and the current royal House of Windsor. This passion developed into a fascination with women in WWII wartime England. Through my research, I've found them to be brave, heroic, and humble and I'm driven to tell their stories! 

​

The Unquiet Translator

At Bletchley Park, Violet Grey uses her gift for languages to translate enemy messages vital to Britain’s survival in WWII. But as secrets surface, she discovers that words can be as dangerous as bombs — and that what she uncovers could change both the war and her own life forever.

​

The War Twins of London
The Kingston Sisters saga begins here, in the heart of London during the Blitz. Tillie and Maggie Kingston step boldly into wartime roles, balancing duty, danger, and the search for love amid the bombs. Inspired by the resilience of real women on the World War II home front, this is the story that started it all.

​

A Burning London Sky
Maggie’s journey takes centre stage as she joins the Ack-Ack Girls, Britain’s courageous anti-aircraft crews. With London under constant attack, Maggie faces peril in the skies and conflict in her heart in this gripping continuation of the Kingston Sisters’ tale.

​

The Code Girl from London
On the eve of D-Day, younger sister Katie Kingston finally steps into her own. Working as a Y-station operator, she intercepts and translates German messages that could turn the tide of the war. But in the shadow of her older sisters, Katie must also fight to claim her place — and her chance at love.

​

Christmas with the Kingston Girls
The Kingston Sisters’ unforgettable story concludes with wartime Christmases full of heart, hope, and family bonds. Amid rationing and uncertainty, Tillie, Maggie, and Katie discover that love and courage shine brightest during the darkest of times.

​​

Before these series, I pursued my love of all things royal with my Diana Spencer Series - historical fiction exploring the real-life of Diana, Princess of Wales, throughout her extraordinary lifetime. 

​

The Royal Key tells the story of Annabelle, who finds herself in the role of a 19th-century royal nanny and must navigate her way home. The Time Traveller's Wife meets Downton Abbey in this time travel story.

I'm a proud member of the Historical Novel Society, and The Writers Union of Canada.

 

Living in Toronto, Canada, I enjoy spending time with my amazing kids, their spouses, and my delightful grandchildren, Eva and Joey.
