I'm credited with being the most prolific author and journalist writing about Majorca today which proves that I am indeed a Majorca obsessive!

To date I've penned 11 books about the island - seven in a humorous travel series, and four in a new crime fiction series, starring Isabel Flores Montserrat, a Mallorcan sleuth and her ferret. The fourth, Aunt Maria's Last Aria, is published late June 2024.

I'm a member of the Telegraph UK travel team and its Majorca destination expert and hotel reviewer, and write for many other leading publications.

Back in 2001, my Scottish husband and I threw in the towel to move from the UK to rural Soller in the northwest of Majorca with our son, Ollie. Previously we'd lived a frenetic, work-fuelled existence in central London. Friends thought we were mad to up-sticks but it was the best decision we ever made.

I've twice presented my books at the Oxford Literary Festival and speak at many book clubs and cultural associations.

My English chum, Alison and I are currently climbing all 54 peaks over 1,000m in Majorca, and have only three to go. We hope to be the first British women to have climbed them all. I run an international marathon annually on behalf of my favourite causes, my most recent being Iceland, and Seville.

I am honoured to have been the first Briton to receive the Siurell de Plata, awarded by the Balearic regional government for the celebration and promotion of the local culture of the islands.
