"I'm a half-English, half-Kiwi author living in Bath, where I'm best known for writing thrillers and undertaking the odd
car rally - my first was 13,250 miles London to Saigon in a Lada, my last 14,400 miles around South America in something far more sensible: a Toyota 4X4.
When I'm not writing or rallying, it seems I'm judging. I'm on the panel for this year's International Thriller of the Year Award and helping judge the
CWA Young Crime Writer's Competition. I'm also the UK judge for the
Women's World Car of the Year Award. Talk about lucky. When I'm not reading, I'm testing brand new cars! "
