About me

My inspiration for writing the Campbell Road series came from my own family

My grandmother spent her childhood in the notorious slum before leaving as a young woman. Even though keen to escape the slum, she was unable to shake off the lure of her childhood home: when in labor with her first child, she returned to the Bunk, to my great grandmother's care, to give birth.

​

My mum was born at 97 Campbell Road in 1922.
