Mum of three AJ said she's had really good feedback on her writing so far, and is delighted at how readers have got involved via her online bookclub called Novels and Natter.

AJ said: "The first two books are stand-alone but in a series. This [third book] is a complete stand-alone book.

"I'm still doing my bookclub Novels and Natter - that's going really well. It's open to anyone to join on Facebook.

"I'm now writing book four!"

AJ originally worked as an accountant for London investment banks but after her twin sons were born in 2005, she left work to care for one her them who has cerebral palsy and is profoundly deaf.

She got into journaling and later writing novels, attending various writing courses including the Faber Academy’s Writing A Novel.

AJ's self-published debut novel, a psychological suspense called Leave Well Alone, was released in July 2020 in paperback and Kindle formats and quickly topped Amazon's Hot New Releases chart.

Leave Well Alone tells the story of Eva Barnes, and raises the question 'how far would you go to protect your family?'

It was followed by second novel, psychological thriller Don't Come Looking in April 2021.
