So you want to know more about me. Anyone would think you were a detective! I’m not sure it’s a good idea. But Buddha tells us to be open with one another, so if you can stand it, I guess I can.
I was born in London, but ended up spending a lot of my life in the country. Often in high places. I suppose I got that from my father who was a Doctor, but also a keen traveller and climber.
My mother died when I was young and my Aunts brought me up, when I wasn’t at boarding school. They were rather Spartan – cold baths and cold porridge for breakfast with salt on! But they all had wonderful libraries, which is where I got my love of books. And crime stories!
The Headmaster at Ramsdean House, an early school, spoke Chinese and loved the East and I caught the bug! I ended up at Cambridge studying Mandarin, and Comparative Religions. So you can see how I got to where I am. But there was a lot in between including a marriage that didn’t work out.
A trip to Bhutan, started with me as a translator, but ended with me studying with the monks at the Takstshang Monastery for a year. While I was there I learnt the simple life and became a Buddhist (of sorts!). I also became a vegetarian – and chilli addict! And that got me interested in growing my own food and the odd bit of gardening.
What happened in Bhutan and how did I end up as a private detective? You’ll have to buy the book to find that out!

“...she tried to pull her wrapover skirt together. A journey it was never going to make.”
This is my first case. And nearly my last! Too many women, too few brains! The Manchester Evening News called me ‘A leader in the new wave of private dicks.’ See what you think.
