Originally a scriptwriter, James transitioned to novel writing, finding greater fulfillment in crafting immersive literary experiences. Her stories often reflect her fascination with psychological depth and atmospheric tension. A dedicated animal rights advocate and vegan, she infuses her personal ethos into her life and work, occasionally featuring her rescue cats, Hero and Halo, in her narratives.

Born in Cambridgeshire with Welsh heritage, she plans to retire in South Wales, a region that holds deep personal significance. There, she hopes to expand her animal rescue efforts, embracing a life close to nature and the memory of her late mother, whose maiden name inspired her pen name.
