I was shocked, but thrilled, to be informed on New Years Day that Daniel's Daughter had jointly won the Chicks Rogues and Scandals Historical Fiction Novel Award. What a wonderful way to start the year!

At the end of 2020, just when lockdown restrictions were tightening across the country again and an atmosphere of doom and gloom had returned to dampen the festive period, I received the most amazing news from my publisher. I was informed that my sixth novel in the Cornish Tales series, Daniel’s Daughter, was a FINALIST for the Romantic Novelists Association’s HISTORICAL ROMANTIC NOVEL AWARD!

I have been lucky in my writing career. Prior to the 6th January, 2021 I had three of my six novels published in print, The Thief's Daughter, The Captain's Daughter and The Daughter of River Valley. I call myself lucky as many published authors don't get to see their books released in print at all. Why? The book business is a competitive business and some publishers prefer to release their novels in the digital format only.
The shelves of book shops are filled with tantalising reads and sometimes it seems that you can't go into a shop, any type of shop, without there being a book section in some form or other. Sometimes it seems there are too many genres, too many authors and not enough space to display them all. With so many books on offer, it may come as a surprise to learn that not all books make it into paperback. Why, I hear you ask?
