I tell well-researched and highly readable stories about powerful women in extraordinary circumstances. Readers are transported to other times and places, inspired to be authentic in their own lives.

As a proud British royalist, I've been fascinated with the English monarchy - from the early days of the War of the Roses, through the Tudor era, the trials and triumphs of England during World War II, and the current royal House of Windsor.

In researching England, I've developed a strong passion for the brave women of World War II. What they did was nothing short of heroic - sending their husbands and sons off to fight, dealing with rationing, long queues, and the terror of bombing and its aftermath while looking after the home.

As a proud British royalist, I've been fascinated with the English monarchy - from the early days of the War of the Roses, through the Tudor era, the trials and triumphs of England during World War II, and the current royal House of Windsor.

In researching England, I've developed a strong passion for the brave women of World War II. What they did was nothing short of heroic - sending their husbands and sons off to fight, dealing with rationing, long queues, and the terror of bombing and its aftermath while looking after the home. And starting in 1941, they were conscripted to work in the forces, factories, or fields.

So, I started writing a series about young women facing numerous challenges in wartime London.
My latest book is the first in my Bletchley Park series: The Unquiet Translator, about a young linguistics student recruited to work at the home of the codebreakers - Bletchley Park. Watch for books 2 and 3, which follow Violet's sister, Fern and cousin Isabelle.

The War Twins of London, A Burning London Sky, and The Code Girl from London follow sisters in dangerous roles - fighting for love, family, and life itself. The final book in the series is Christmas with the Kingston Girls, focusing on the family's wartime Christmases.

Having read many books about Diana, Princess of Wales, I decided to write the book I always wanted to read - one that would capture the thoughts and feelings of this young Princess during her extraordinary royal life. Explore them through my Diana Spencer series and At Home with Diana.

I share more about the childhood of the Duke of Windsor and his mindset when he abdicated in The Royal Key. I combined this with a modern-day love story about Annabelle and her healing journey. The Time Traveller's Wife meets Downton Abbey in this time travel story. ...more
