Peace and Goodwill
I have been very quiet of late, but if you follow me over on Instagram you’ll know it’s because I’ve been very busy. My first ever writing retreat with five other authors in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales helped me to finish my last book of 2023. Uncovering the Governess’s Secrets is a dark, Gothic Victorian …

What I’m Writing – #EdinburghGothic
After a substantial and very enjoyable break from writing, I’m back. And because I like to challenge myself I’m writing two books in parallel. Both are set in Edinburgh in the 1870s, and both have a Gothic theme, but there the similarity ends. Because I’m an arch procrastinator, and one of the books has no …

What I’ve Been Reading – Review Copies
One of the benefits of being an author is that I have a stack of lovely books given to me to review, a mixture of advance copies and recently published. So for the past few weeks I’ve given myself over to indulgent reading (sorry, I mean work, it’s work I tell you!) and steered away …

What I’ve Been Reading – Agatha Christie
When I was growing up the concept of Young Adult fiction did not exist (nor did Young Adults, as an actual thing!), so I progressed straight from Enid Blyton to whatever my mum was reading, which included (thankfully for my future career) Georgette Heyer, Barbara Cartland (something she still denies), Mary Stewart and crime of …

What I’ve Been Reading – A Festive Fiction Feast
Usually I read my fiction on my Kindle, because I read in bed and don’t want to fall sleep with my glasses on! My morning reading hour (one of my favourite times of the day) is usually reserved for non-fiction and research. But I had a stack of hard-back fiction piling up recently, and decided …

Only 10 weeks before my new historical romance is released. His Runaway Marchioness Returns is set in 1876, and is a marriage of convenience story with a twist (as you’d expect from me!). Oliver and Lily have been married for ten years and lived apart for all of them. Oliver, a self-made man, has no …

The Armstrong Family Tree – And All the Offshoots
UNDER THE MISTLETOE is my latest Christmas duet with Bronwyn Scott (and it’s out now, in case you didn’t know). When we first started talking about it, we both had ‘stray’ characters from other series whose story we wanted to tell. Bronwyn’s story, Doctor Peverett’s Christmas Miracle is the last in her Peverett’s of Haverstock …
