Thank you for visiting my website. I am a saga writer, living in beautiful North Wales. Moving here was the fulfilment of a lifelong dream, but my writing is inspired by my Mancunian roots.

 

I am represented by Laura Longrigg at MBA. My books are published by Allison & Busby (hardback, ebook and paperback), Magna Large Print and Isis Soundings (audiobooks). Writing as Polly Heron, I am published by Corvus (paperback and ebook), Isis Soundings and WF Howes Large Print.

Living by the sea:

 

I love living in Llandudno. We've been here for nearly seven years now, but that "Wow! We really live here," feeling never goes away.
