I spent years working in theatre, film and television, but whose greatest fascination has always been people: their contradictions, their resilience and the stories they tell themselves to get through the day. I live on the Camino de Santiago, surrounded by pilgrims, wanderers and people in the middle of reinventing themselves, which may explain why I ended up writing Finding Grace.

Like my heroine, I am interested in second chances, bad decisions and the possibility that it is never too late to change direction.
