About Me:

Brought up a few miles from Aintree, the home of the Grand National, horse racing is in my DNA, and I spent most of my teens and 20s putting into action my plan of making enough money to buy a racehorse.  With a degree in English from Cambridge University, immediately followed by the sole annual graduate traineeship at The Daily Telegraph, Jan’s Plan was soon successful, and I was able to buy Brave Setanta, left, by the time I was 30.

A side-effect of the plan was success as a journalist.  I wrote and edited The Daily Mail’s Update page, the first style column on Fleet Street.  I then became launch features editor of Hello! magazine before returning to tabloids to be women’s editor of The Daily Express.  In due course the lure of sport overcame me, and I went freelance which gave me time to get many non-fiction books published and to pick up an MA in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University.  Meanwhile the racehorses have got better, and a few touches have been landed, and I was elected to the board of directors of the Racehorse Owners Association. Will this book reveal Jan’s Plan in full?  Will you too land a Touch? You have to be in it to win it: The Touch is On!
