I’ve written for as long as I can remember, and was reading adult books in primary school. Love of stories just doesn’t cover it!
Born in Canada of Scottish extraction, I graduated in History and English from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. After graduation I moved to the UK where I worked in the financial sector. While in London I continued my studies in history, focussing on Medieval England and the Icelandic Sagas (with a smattering of Old Norse and Old English – tip: swearing in Old Norse is a really effective conversation stopper!).
I now live in Toronto, Canada with my husband Max and two rescue cats (Bear and Wolf). I worked in the financial sector as a trade technology project manager for over 20 years but retired recently to write full time. I’m a voracious reader (I brought over 3,000 books with me when I moved back to Canada from England) and enjoy history, music (I play medieval recorder), and watching really really bad horror and old sci-fi movies.
In my alternate identity as Lady Matilda, I post satirical articles on managing your medieval manor during the Black Death (Read them Here)
I’m currently working on my MG ghost series, Gaby’s Ghosts.
My novels can be found here.

Hi Kelly, just wondered if there are plans to release your book for kindle? Or will it remain as a book?
(Will your book remain a book? Sounds stupid, but you know what I mean 🙂 )
Hi Andy, yes, it will be out in kindle format, hopefully in a few weeks!
Okay, if I don’t spot it on the Nordland site will you let me know please. I’m fighting a losing battle with my wife to reduce books and save space! So I tend to get most fiction on my kindle. But your book does look cool, though.Congratulations.
Thank you, so does yours! There’ll def be an announcement of some sort, I’m getting good at this marketing thing!
Good practice for your next one. Will there be a next one? No-don’t tell me! I’ll read it myself 🙂
Actually, you can’t tell from the current one but yes, I’m working on book two. It starts about a year after the current one.
Hi Andy, my book is now out on Kindle! http://goo.gl/1Zg4VW
Thank you Kelly, will order it on the UK site. Look forward to reading it!
Hi Kelly, just finished reading your book and loved it. Very impressed. Left a review on Goodreads and Amazon UK. Look forward to the next one. 🙂
Thank you SO much, I’m glad you enjoyed it! And working on the next one!!
kelly congrats on great success. Please get Max to drop a line to his godfather. … we’ve all lost too many contacts which is daft in this dsy and age
Hey there! Max is sitting here with me, can you send your email? My contact details are on the contact page.

I wonder whatever happened to that crate of vintage port that Max was supposed to enjoy on or about his 21st birthday ?
