About

I am a Scottish bestselling author and potter. My novels, The Doll Factory, Circus of Wonders and The Burial Plot are out now.

My first novel, The Doll Factory, has been translated into 29 languages. It was a Sunday Times bestseller, a Radio 2 Book Club pick, a Radio 4 Book at Bedtime and a Waterstones Book of the Month. It was adapted for TV and is available to watch on Paramount+. My second novel, Circus of Wonders was a Sunday Times bestseller and Sunday Times ‘Book of the Month.’ My third novel, The Burial Plot, was published in June 2024.

To hear more about my writing, I was interviewed in the Sunday Times, Radio 4’s Front Row and The Observer.

As well as writing, I make my ceramics in a small studio in my garden. Due to the time pressures of having two small children, I only update open my webshop about once a year. My ceramics have appeared on Mary Berry’s Britain’s Best Home Cook on BBC1, have been acquired by The Museum of London for their permanent collection, and the Evening Standard named me as one of '5 British ceramicists you should know about.'

I love attending literary festivals and events, and I’ll add any upcoming events when they are confirmed.

Thanks so much for your interest in my ceramics and writing - it means so much to me.
