I’m a retired nurse, family historian and author from Merseyside. For thirty years, I have been tracing my Irish ancestors and uncovering the lives hidden behind names and dates in old records. My research led me to a forgotten murder trial involving my own family, I knew I wanted to tell the story to combine real people, court records and family history with fiction. I bring overlooked voices back to life showing how the consequences of one event can pass through generations.

The Truth of Sheemore is the first novel in my Forgotten Histories series.
