About Me

IMG_8567

I am an author of fantasy fiction for young adults, which is enjoyed by all ages. I live in London, UK and have been writing and creating stories for over thirty years. It was a love of reading fantasy fiction that sparked a desire to write and to share the joy that I have found in authors like Sharon Shinn, Robin McKinley, Megan Whelan Turner and Martha Wells.

My first three novels in the Carentan Series were co-written with my Dad, before he passed away in 2016. I now write under the name of FG Laval, my maiden name. I am married to my lovely husband, Billy, who is also my Karate Sensei. We have two awesome sons who totally rock my world. I have been practising martial arts for as long as I have been writing, which comes in handy for those fight scenes in epic fantasy. Themes of love, loss and coming-of-age reverberate through my books and stories. I hope you enjoy them.

And what else do I do..? Well, I love #cats, #crochet, #coffee and more recently #taichi and #yoga.
