Hi Chrissie, I'll answer again here, so that other readers can pick up on this...

The Secret Letters was originally published as A Season of Leaves a few years ago - and both these titles are now out of print. But the same novel is being republished on May 25th as The Land Girl's Letters by Boldwood Books. It will be in paperback, ebook or audio.... I hope you enjoy it. 😊(less)

I can see myself at King's Landing, drinking summer wine on a shaded terrace looking out to sea, or eating grapes under a bower of vines in the land of Dorne. Even a trek to chillier Winterfell would be magical, for I would sit in the snow under the Heart Tree in the Gods Wood and receive the prophecy. I would swear my allegiance to House Targaryen, bend the knee to Daenerys Stormborn and ask her, ever so politely, if I could ride one of her dragons.(less)

Best-selling author Rachel Brimble puts Catherine under the spotlight...…

Catherine: This is hard to pinpoint because I began writing from childhood and, in all innocence, simply wanted to create stories. But as I grew up and focussed more seriously on writing – and finally had my first book published in 2008 – I had no idea that mos

“What do I do when inspiration fails, when I’m in the frustrating and scary depths of writer’s block?”
― Catherine Law

“Home for the soldiers must be the fishing town, its harbour patrolled by gulls, for there was nowhere else to go if they came this way. If they kept on walking, they’d topple into the sea.”
― Catherine Law, Shoal: A Thanet Writers Anthology

“Clare thought about their evening together.”
― Catherine Law, The Map Maker's Promise
