Research is an integral part of writing historical fiction. Accurate historical details will anchor the plot firmly into an era and invite the reader to immerse themselves into this alternative world. I enjoy reading well-researched historical fiction. Learning about our history helps us to understand how the past has influenced the society, environment and beliefs of today.
Waiting For Our Rainbow has had a makeover! The book inside is the same but I'm excited to reveal that it now has a beautiful new cover and title! It's new title is The Cornish Affair!

In April, I was delighted to join radio presenter (and fellow Choc Lit author) Chris Penhall on her show, Books and Tunes. Books and Tunes is a weekly West Wiltshire radio show, where Chris talks to writers and readers about books and publishing. Needless to say, the friendly, informative chat is interspersed with music. I was one of two guests in the hour long show (episode 5) and although it’s always daunting to be a guest on a radio show, fortunately Chris made it feel as if we were just chatting over a coffee and not recording a show.
It is with deep regret I have to share the news that the summer paperback release of Daughter of the House, has been delayed. It was due to be released in June/July of 2020, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and subsequent lockdown of bookshops, paperback sales temporary plummeted. This resulted in books remaining on the shelves of shops and warehouses, causing, I assume, a bottleneck as the print deadlines of summer books approached. Unfortunately, Daughter of the House was one of them.
