I am an author and dramatist. I grew up in London before studying English at Oxford and Playwriting Studies at Birmingham University. I now live in the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan with my husband and our two daughters. My travel and food memoir Fragrant Heart was published by Summersdale in 2014. My first novel Miss Treadway and the Field of Stars will be published by 4th Estate (UK), Harper Books (US) and HarperCollins (Canada) in early 2017. I'm a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4 (sometimes as Miranda Davies) and I'm currently undertaking a PhD in the history of BBC radio adaptation at Cardiff University where I'm attempting to catalogue everything that BBC Radio has ever adapted.I'm represented for fiction and non fiction by Caroline Hardman at Hardman & Swainson.
