Other Writing
My proudest achievement as a writer is probably the Girls’ Night In series. These collections of short stories were born on a girls’ night out with fellow novelists Fiona Walker and Jessica Adams. From an idea scribbled on a napkin to a best-selling series of anthologies in aid of War Child and No Strings. Who says nothing good can come of drinking chardonnay…
As well as the novels listed here, I’ve published five novellas as Stephanie Ash, a non-fiction book as Chris Byman, and, most recently, I’ve been moonlighting as Olivia Darling.
