About Me
I grew up in Gloucester, in the west of England, during the nineteen-seventies, with my wonderful parents Ann and Don, my sister Kate and a variety of pets including Ben the dog and Olivia Newton John the goldfish.I attended the High School For Girls, otherwise known as Denmark Road, in the city centre.I was always among the last to be picked for the netball team and knew all the best places to stop for a nice sit-down on the cross-country running route.Fortunately, I wasn’t quite so rubbish at English.
How I became a writer
Encouraged my by English teacher, Mrs. Pocock, I published my first short story in Just Seventeen when I was fourteen years old.The story was called ‘Whatever happened to the wonderful boy I fell in love with’ and I published it under the pseudonym ‘Carolyn Lane’ because it largely consisted of a transcript of an argument I’d had with my boyfriend.I bought a black denim jacket from C & A with the proceeds.
I continued to contribute short stories to Just Seventeen to help pay my way through university.I studied Experimental Psychology at St Edmund Hall in Oxford.Alas, I devoted rather too much time to my social life and staggered away with an unimpressive 2:2.In retrospect, that 2:2 saved my life

A Proper Family Adventure is the third book in the Proper Family series. The Bensons are back and this time they’re on a Mediterranean cruise!

Though the book is part of a series, I’ve written it so that it can be read as a stand-alone novel. With backdrops such as Barcelona, Corsica, Rome, Florence and Gibraltar to the action, I hope it will bring some sunshine to my readers wherever they spend their holidays this year.
