About the author

Hi, I love writing mysteries and started with a paranormal series. In the last couple of years I have been writing 1920s mysteries. I love the atmosphere of the time, that has been depicted on our screens and in fiction. Of the fashion, the cars, the parties following the war which gave everyone that 'live for the day' attitude.

I set my books in Somerset close to where I live, although the towns and villages are fictional they are based on real places local to me. They have to be fictional as I change them to fit the story. I do use the real cities though, such as Bristol and Bath Spa. They are places I visit often and it's great to be able to spend time researching what the cities were like 100 years ago.

I hope you enjoy reading my books.

After the death of her husband, Lady Ellen is at loose ends until she decides to make her house into a hospital for men who were injured in the war. Along the way she finds a puppy, befriends one soldier and avoids an unwanted suitor. Nice ending.

Very slim plot and no mystery. Just the story of how Lady Ellen turned her estate into a hospital, met Captain Hamilton, and rescued a puppy.
