I am a London-based freelance writer and editor. After many years working primarily as a journalist, I have now returned to my first love: fiction writing.
DNA Never Lies, the first in a series of mystery novels featuring genealogist Karen Copperfield will be out in summer 2022. Karen helps people make sense of family secrets revealed by DNA tests such as those sold by Ancestry and 23andMe.
Aside from paid work and fiction writing, my main area of research and interest is bisexuality. I wrote Women and Bisexuality in the 1990s – the first serious non-fiction book on the subject to be published in the UK. I wrote a blog on bisexuality between 2006 and 2015 and more recently have been writing and thinking about bisexuality and ageing; see the books page for several recent publications on this.
I also have a master’s degree in Life History Research, looking at the lives of two now-forgotten women writers. One of my main recreational interests is 1920s-30s bohemian London.
Kyle Landis-Marinello lives in Vermont with his fantastic partner, three wonderful kids, and an amazing dog. He is a practicing attorney, specializing in environmental and energy law. He received a master’s degree in environmental law from Vermont Law School and a law degree from the University of Michigan, where even his free time was spent on study-related activities like being an editor of the Michigan Law Review. (This was before kids, so he didn’t know what else to do with his time.) When he turned his research skills toward personal finance and investing, he learned how to improve his family’s finances by $300,000 in one year. This did not come from being wealthy or from compromising his values. This $300,000 change came from receiving forgiveness of federal student loans, refinancing a home and private student loans, and other methods to make more, spend less, and invest wisely. His passions are family, friends, kayaking, frisbee, board games, comic books, and writing. –This text refers to the paperback edition.

I recently graduated with a first-class degree in Autism: Special Education from the University of Birmingham.
Although born in the north of England, I now live in Hampshire with my family and have also been fortunate enough to have lived in Germany and the USA.

Like the best of us, Eva St. John is a construct. A moving feast of many parts, most of those parts involve gin, science fiction and falling over her dogs.

Another wonderful and humorous instalment in the Guesthouse on the Green series as Mammy and Moira travel Vietnam.
I love the series and can't wait for book four!
A quick but emotional read - reading about the cruelty to the dog was heartbreaking but this was a lovely tale of the love and healing that animals can bring to our lives.
I would have given five stars but for the missed typos - a few t...
I get the impression that this could be a nice story but I've had to give up after forcing myself to go as far as 15% of the way through. If this novel has ever been near a remotely professional editor then the author was conned.

Another very enjoyable story but with a few niggles, hence the four stars rather than five. Maybe it's because I was tired but the editing issues grated on me more than in the first story and, do people really generally believe that 'ear...
