The Cotswold Time-slip Series

Having finished writing this popular trilogy of novels, I found myself wondering what would happen to the family after all that.
Long story short, I am now about halfway through writing book 4 of the trilogy - yeah I know there's no such thing. Set in the very near future - 2035 to be precise - this is the story of what happens to them next.
Pleased to say it's going well so I'm hoping the novel will be published by this autumn/winter.
Watch this space...
