About the author

She is a British dramatist whose work spans radio, theatre, and television. The Royal Literary Fund describes her as the writer of a dozen radio plays for BBC Radio 4, and notes that her first radio play, The Brief Chronicles of Annie Rose, was produced by Alison Hindell and starred Tamsin Greig.

Her published and produced work includes titles such as The Lost Road and Luxembourg Gardens, with Penguin highlighting her interest in literary subjects including C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Katherine Mansfield. Another professional profile for her work lists a range of radio dramas and adaptations, suggesting a career built around both original writing and reimagined literary material.

Across these sources, a clear picture emerges of a writer drawn to voice, performance, and the inner lives of memorable characters. I couldn't confidently confirm further personal background details from the sources reviewed, so this overview stays focused on her documented writing career.
