Theresa Howes lives in London with her husband and Claude, a larger than average cat. When she isn’t writing or reading, she enjoys seeing how many more plants she can cram into her tiny London garden, walking, and putting the world to rights over a gin and tonic.

Her first two novels, THE SECRETS WE KEEP and THE FRENCH AFFAIR are set in occupied France during WWII. Her third novel, A MATTER OF PERSUASION, is a retelling of Jane Austen’s Persuasion, set in America’s Gilded Age. AN AMERICAN SCANDAL, a reimagining of Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park, will be published in 29 Jan 2026
