She won an Eric Gregory Award for her poetry in 1996 and published her first collection, The Brief History of a Disreputable Woman, with Bloodaxe Books the following year. Her first novel, Kissing the Pink, was published by Sceptre in 1999. She has written reviews and literary articles for many UK journals, and was editor of the poetry magazine Blade from 1995 - 1999, while she was living on the Isle of Man. Her latest poetry collection, Boudicca & Co., was published in 2006 by Salt.
