About This Author

An avid reader since before I can remember, I'm following in the footsteps of my mother, a gifted poet, and my older sister, Marian Smith, who's a far more talented writer and poet than I. Without her generous support, and that of my other sisters, my husband and daughter, I might have given up in disgust long ago. Having received a rejection letter from a well known publisher of romantic novels, I feel like a real writer at last! Ulterior Design was written over a twelve month period as a personal challenge to myself, The only real character in the novel is Bim, a funny little eccentric who rules our house, hearts and dog with a rod of iron. UD is dedicated to all my sisters, to Patrick, Kate and her family and anyone else who's not sure if they could ever write a novel.
