I’ve loved thrillers and mysteries since I was a child. Yes, it really was Enid Blyton and the famous five who started it all. In my teens I moved on to Le Carré, Frederick Forsyth and so many other great thriller writers. At that time, my absolute favourite was Robert Ludlum. Of all his books, The Matarese Circle captivated me the most. I read it over and over again. I loved the pace, the intrigue and the characters. I wonder if I would love it as much if I read it now? I don’t want to risk the memory…

Over the years, I’ve read widely in the thriller genre, alongside the classics, literary fiction, romantic suspense and much more. If you push me for favourite authors, I’ll mention Nora Roberts, Lee Child, Robert Galbraith and Greg Hurwitz. But they’re the tip of the iceberg. I just adore books. And I adore reading.

After many years writing and creating drafts of my own stories, I’m excited that I’ll finally be releasing my debut thriller next year. It’s going to be fast-paced and emotional. I hope you’ll love it.
