Judge’s comments:-
‘The moment I started to read I knew it was the winner. The story is compelling,
fast paced, and well written. But there is something more than just the skill of
the writing or a gripping story-line. It has that certain something – the
X-factor – the secret ingredient, so hard to define and even harder to recreate!
Perhaps it's the deceptive effortlessness with which this writer spins her
spell. Perhaps it's the way she cleverly builds up the tension as her heroine
realizes that the attack in an underpass wasn't just a random mugging, but the
start of a sinister and bewildering campaign of hate against her. Perhaps, it's
the determined and feisty way the heroine fights to unmask her tormentor.
Whatever it is, I like it… I couldn't put it down.’

watcher intent on ensuring her innocence until the day he will claim her as his

Like her first novel, Watcher in the Shadows
also won the NAWG's Most Promising Unpublished Novel Award the following year.
Judge’s comments:-
‘This is the rarest of all creatures - a thriller that actually thrills. From
the opening page this suspense story grabs the reader and won't let go. It's a
genuinely creepy, tingling read packed with menace and malice - the sort of
novel that is uncomfortable to read but impossible to put down.'

An adult fantasy
Evil there is in plenty for Zorastro to overcome on the long journey escorting Lady Felicity, to Eryth to her wedding with Prince Godolphin. The crusty, unlikely hero needs all his magic skills to thwart the infamous sorceress Roxana who will stop at nothing to ensure that the prince marries her own daughter.
Mission for a Magician was one of three
runners-up in the NAWG SF, Fantasy and Horror Novel Award.
Judge’s comments:-
This is a richly woven tale of High Fantasy containing strongly
imagined characters, drama, adventure and some vividly pictured settings. The
humour, as in the dragon's barely-tolerant attitude towards the magician
Zorastro in the opening scene, is delicately done and never descends into cheap
pastiche or struggles to force a laugh. The pitch of such humour contrasts well
with the episodes of drama and tension promised in the synopsis.
