Hello, hope you’re having a fantastic summer so far! I’ve had a busy few months, both at my writing desk and on my travels� all in the name of research, of course. Do keep reading to find out more and see some of my pics. In the meantime, today is publication day for the new edition of one of m...

This is one of my favourite months of year, a time of crisp leaves, long walks, flickering fires, lovely casseroles and excellent knitwear. But this autumn, I’m especially looking forward to putting what has been a FAR too dramatic few weeks behind us. If you follow me on or

Mark and I went to an actual wedding� what a treat!

Hello again after my extended ‘summer break�. If this description sounds like I’ve spent July and August in St Tropez diving off the back of a yacht, then I’m about about to disillusion you. I’ve actually had my head ...

The big news for me this month is that I’ve finally finished my next novel. I can’t tell you what it’s called yet (I've got a working title, but suspect it might change), or even what it’s about. But it’ll be here that you read it first when I can! I feel a bit of a fraud saying that I’ve finished it, I must admit.ÌýI donâ€�...

I’m happy to start this month’s newsletter with news of a FANTASTIC bargain. !. Like the paperback price drop last month, I have absolutely no idea how long this will last (that turned out to be 24 hours, but these things are on a need to know basis apparently�). But I do kno...

If you’re reading this in the UK, then I’m sure you’ll be thinking the same as me this week: what a difference a bit of sunshine makes! I really hope you’ve been able to see some friends and family as the lockdown restrictions start to ease. I’ve been back on the tennis court and had a glass of prosecco in the garden with...

Some months I have nothing book-related to tell you about beyond the fact that I’m writing something. Quite often I have to keep that something under wraps until I’ve wrestled it into the shape it needs to be in before I’m willing to show anyone. But now it’s March. And...

This is not a good time for anyone writing newsletters, diaries and dispatches of any description. I know I’m not alone in being light on interesting events to report from my personal life, given that I haven’t left the house. But, although I can’t bring you news of skydiving, party-going or even many thrilling trips to As...

Hello! I’m back at my writing desk on a very chilly morning, though I’ll confess getting here isn’t as easy as it once was. Now, as with so many other households, my working day is punctuated with the catering requirements of three constantly hungry children, with explaining maths equations, solving IT problems, printing...

Me and my lovely lot at the Liverpool Santa Dash - not this year sadly but it remains one of my favourite family Christmas pics!

I dont know about you but I am so ready for Christmas. I think were all in need of a little sparkle and magic right now, aren't we? The thought I keep holding onto is that, although this pandemic is still dictating our every move, an awful lot can change in no time at all...

This time last year, we were moving into our new - very old - home. It
