The Kate Daniels series is in development with Stephen Fry’s production company, Sprout Pictures. She is reader-in-residence for Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival.

The Times described her series character DCI Kate Daniels as a Northerner set to join the roster of top literary detectives.
