I used to teach children with special needs, but after fifteen years I decided to take a change in direction. Already having a keen interest in literature I then decided to take up two short courses at the University of London, Birkbeck College - one on Victorian literature and one on women's history.

I became fascinated by the relation between women's literature and their history and this book is the result of that enthusiasm.

After a successful book launch I have already started on my second book, which will continue the investigation - but now into the Victorian period.

I have been happily married for thirty years, have three grown up - and very creative - children. I also have three dogs.
