About Me

After five years in marketing, a couple more as a restaurant owner, I started travelling.  This turned into thirty years as an international teacher trainer, discovering such wonders as Easter Island, Xi’an, Komodo dragons and Galapagos marine life. A published non-fiction co-author, I am now London-based, writing satisfying crime about a lady sleuth.

The Fox Agency makes its first appearance with The Stone Angel.  The agency just about keeps its head above water in its offices in West London and attracts a variety of clients.  In this case they are a well-known local doctor and a dodgy accountant working for a criminal boss.  The owner of the agency was knocked sideways by the loss of her child years ago and reluctantly accepts both of these cases despite the fact that the first involves the suspected kidnapping of young children.  The agency team with the help of her friends from the police resolve all three cases.

​

The second story about the Fox agency, Abduction, involves a family of psychopaths who have been getting away with murder literally for years and how the team discovers them.  The team also have another case where a successful academic has discovered that she is one of thirteen women seduced by the same man to whom he has promised marriage (based on a true story).

​

The third story, Solutions (provisional title), is about the disappearance of a local MP and his family’s relationship with a well-known London gangster.

​

The fourth story is about a movement which is becoming a cult. No title as yet.

​

All the stories include people who appear in various episodes because they are part of the West London tapestry where the agency functions.
