I trained as a nurse and have a Master’s in Creative Writing from Birkbeck College, University of London.

I have had four short stories published. Farrukh and the Matchmaker made the longlist for the BBC Short Story Award 2021. The Chrysalis was awarded a Pushcart Prize nomination in 2021.

I read for established authors and was part of the Mechanics’ Institute Review Short Story Anthology editorial team in 2018.

I have written two middle-grade historical thrillers – Winter’s Bite and Fever Quest – and two commercial fiction novels.

Her baby’s future, broadcast to millions.

Talent agent Mae Miller has problems . . .

Her mother, Elsa, who has Alzheimer’s, has gambled away all of Mae’s savings. Billy Mac, her most lucrative client, has been poached by uber-agent Matthias Bloom. And Mae is eight months pregnant, with a baby she doesn’t want.

Enter The Baby Exchange.

When a reality TV show needs a new mother willing to have her baby adopted, Mae applies.

But there’s a price . . .

In the city of Los Angeles where viewing figures are king, Mae is about to be manipulated for far more than she realises.

What will it cost to secure the happy future promised to her by The Baby Exchange for a baby she thought she didn't want – but who is becoming increasingly real each day?
