I've spent most of my career working, as a writer, in charities and non-profit organisations in South Africa and the UK. My debut novel, Sweet Charity, is a character-driven comedy, taking a satirical look behind the scenes of a fictitious London office. I now work as a ghostwriter, and live on the west coast of Scotland with my husband; we have two adult sons.

A quirky satire about office politics, anger management and finding redemption in the unlikeliest of places, especially relatable if you work in an office anywhere. When Morag and Jamie arrive in London, UK, fresh from southern Africa, they’re set to carpe every diem on their new adventure. Little does Morag know it’ll take her six months of diems and a series of disastrous interviews to find her first job in the Big Smoke. But when she lands a job at anger management charity, The HAMP, she finds herself face to face with a line-up of unique, annoying and (sometimes) lovable colleagues. All goes smoothly for Morag and The HAMP, sort of, until a disastrous tweet sends this fictitious London charity into crisis management overdrive and on to the sports field, where hilarity and heroes emerge. Morag's keen observations, crushing neuroses and wild exaggerations will have you laughing out loud one...
