Welcome to my website. I am a British veterinary surgeon and author living in northern Norway. I write about my life in the Arctic Circle here: In Darkness and in Light.
I am the co-author of the Lucy Daniels – Hope Meadows series with the brilliant Victoria Holmes.
Christmas at Mistletoe Cottage
I was inspired by James Herriot to become a veterinary surgeon some thirty years ago. A few years after qualification, I realised I wanted to follow him further, into the world of veterinary writing. I began with short stories, then longer works of fiction, related to my work in general practice and in emergency and critical care. My special interests include anaesthesia and pain relief, and low-stress techniques in small animal handling.
In my spare time, I like to cook and bake. I also enjoy walking and love taking photographs of the countryside near where I live. I am the proud owner of one dog and two guinea pigs.
Many thanks for your visit.

Sarah, I was sent Summer at Hope Meadows by Hodder a while back and only just recently got to it from my huge TBRM. I really enjoyed it and bought the next in the series which fits in perfect for my December themed reads. I loved learning about animal conditions, Mandy’s passion/love for animals and the writing itself was so easy. As a result I will be checking out your other work. Thank you for writing a lovely wee book! xxx

Hi Lainy. I have commented on your blog, but I’m delighted you’ve found my site! I haven’t had any books published in my own name yet, but I am planning a novel about a vet practice in Scotland. I’ll update when I have any news.
Me too I can’t wait to read one of your novel, your so talented in this
Fantastic
