She is known for writing plays, fiction (genres include the dystopic and modern gothic) and creative non-fiction. A focus of her work is also as an educationalist and promoter of literary arts. She studied English & philosophy at the University of Birmingham, masters at Lancaster University and a PhD from the University of Glasgow.[1]
