Lacey Dearie is a writer from Ayrshire, Scotland. She has lived her whole life in the Ayrshire countryside and sets many of her stories in this area, or in the places where her extended family live.

She also ran a small perfumery for a short time and has worked as a mystery shopper since 2007, partly because she likes the glamour of being a spy, although it's actually super boring and there's a lot of paperwork involved.

Then I sit with a drink and in my head I write the story of their lives and why they are there. If my block is really bad I'll go back to the town where my day job was and just walk around with my headphones in my ears listening to music like I used to do on my lunch breaks. That reminds me what I don't want out of life and motivates me.(less)

Nobody ever ended up in Candlelight Lane by accident. If you were there, it was because you intended to be there. No signs pointed to it, no maps showed it and the road leading to the single street hamlet was completely hidden from view by the surrounding hills. It wasn’t even on Google Street View. If you were there, it wa Read more of this blog post »

Good things about this: happy ever after ending. Lots of steamy moments.

Not so good: over analysed the childhood traumas - that distracted from the romance. Cesare wasn’t likeable. He kept calling Lark “little bird” which is creepy and weird. It all

“She shook her head.  ‘I’ve missed those cute little squeaks.  I thought I’d lost him for good!’ ‘Squeaks?’ Leger yowled.  ‘I do not squeak!”
Lacey Dearie, Leger's Fear

“Without further warning, Lily leapt onto Bob’s head and sank her teeth into him. ‘Die, mouse!’ she screeched.”
Lacey Dearie, Leger's Foe

“Brianna glared at her great-aunt.  ‘You mean he’s dead?  Like the bird Leger brought in the other day?’ Annabella and Hugh’s eyes widened and they laughed heartily.  ‘I’m not a baby, you know,’ Brianna sulked.  ‘You can talk to me about death.  Everybody dies.  I know that.”
Lacey Dearie, Leger's Miracle
