So, after a year I have finally published a new book, Poppy Summers Special Agent, and I hope everyone enjoys it. I like to make each book as different as I can from what went before, although my more preceptive readers will have realized that there are familiar themes. This one is my first spy novel and my beautiful special agent has much to endure from a curious training regime to a hostile interrogation.

I haven’t been quite as lazy as a single annual book might suggest and have actually been working on three books concurrently (don’t ask why and yes, my head is now all muddled up). The next two are loosely related and consider the trials of a brilliant female scientist reaching maturity in a reimagined 1930’s England where women are the property of their husbands and subjugated to the extent that they all need to be collared and shackled in public – nothing woke here… Both books have now reached the editing stage, so hopefully before Christmas…
