About the Author

I was born into a large, East End family and grew up in the overcrowded streets clustered around the Tower of London. The Fullerton family have lived by London docks since the 1830s and all my books are set in and around this area. East London has changed greatly and many of the old neighbourhoods I knew as a child have changed too, but I endeavour to bring them alive again in my East London stories of love, family and hard times. I feel that it is my background that gives my stories their distinctive authenticity. I has been shortlisted for and won several awards and regularly undertake writing workshop. I'm fortunate enough to be a guest cruise lecturer and have sailed all around the world talking about East London's vibrant history. I am married to a minister in the Church of England and have three grown-up daughters.
