Writing has been a constant companion in my life. I have countless folders of scraps of paper and journals on every book shelf.
But my novel-writing career began when a writing competition caught my eye. My favourite author was selecting bright new talent. I just wanted the thrill of knowing he might read my work. It gave me the push I needed to get my words down on paper and the desire to have people read my words has never left me.

Notes from a Physicist Lost in Time and Space
Dr Alison Howden has devoted her life to understanding the base rules of the universe, the ones that hold even in multiple universes. If she can just understand how everything works then she maybe will find it easier to live by her one rule: never go back on a promise. Especially her marriage vows.
Then Jack explodes into her carefully controlled life. He reveals that all her theories are true - he’s from another universe. But his world is crumbling. He can save them but he’s trapped in Alison’s universe and only she can help. She agrees to go with him, determined to save them and tempted by the promise of seeing the multiverse for herself.
Jack promises he’ll bring her back home. Or perhaps to a more perfect version of home - one where keeping her promises isn’t quite so hard. All she has to do is hold her nerve, trust him and take the leap.

“I'm picky about what I read but have been gripped by this incredibly well written book. I give it as many stars as I am allowed!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“The twists and turns are just so exceptionally well constructed that it takes you though an incredible journey with Dr Alison Howden. This isn't fantasy bish bash fighting science fiction it is a genuine story of a relationship in trouble. The use of words to describe emotions as feelings wax and wane is stunning.”
“If you liked Time Traveller's Wife you will love this. ”
