About

I’m a writer and journalist based in Dublin, Ireland where I mainly work as a freelance court reporter covering murder trials for the Irish media.  My first book, The Devil in the Red Dress, about the trial of Sharon Collins and Essam Eid, is published by Maverick House.

I live not far from the Four Courts with my husband, a photographer, and a particularly loopy cat.  I grew up in London but have been living in Ireland for over twenty years.  I’ve been a journalist for around a decade now and have worked in both print and broadcasting on a national and local level.

I’ve also had some pretty random gigs in the past (who hasn’t in this day and age?) including, but not limited to, summarising public submissions on the Irish Constitution for an all party government body, being a tour guide in a Norman castle, working for a private hospital consultant and running an antique stall in a market.

These days though, I write.  Apart from the journalism, which is still the bread and butter stuff I’ve also written a novel and I’m currently working on my third non fiction book.
