I'm the British author of 16 bestselling novels and have been published for almost 30 years! Alongside my traditionally published novels such as THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS OF EADIE BROWNE and LITTLE WING, I am also independently publishing too! These are exciting times for authors as never has there been such a fertile time to reach the reader...and my readers are so fundamentally important to me. I'm thrilled to bring you the first of a series of novella's set in Flora's House - a wee white cottage on a wild, beautiful and remote part of the UK: the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. CHRISTMAS AT FLORA'S HOUSE is the first in the series - an emotional, heartfelt story set over the festive period featuring a long-married couple and their first ever Christmas away from home. I had a little cry as I wrote it...and I hope so much you'll enjoy it! The Unfinished Business of Eadie Browne is very much my own intensely personal love letter to youth, to friendship and to coming-of-age in the late 80s/ 1990s... Much of it was drawn from my own memories of leaving home for Manchester Uni and how that FELT. My 15th novel Little Wing was written during the first lockdown. Set partly in the Outer Hebrides and interweaving the secrets and lies of two families over two time frames - it was a joy to research and write and certainly kept me sane during the Pandemic. In Spring this year (2025) I wrote its 'companion piece' STILL TIME - it's not a 'sequel' per se as I conceived and wrote the two books to be read in any order. I don't have a pub.date yet - but I can't wait to tell you more! I've always been focussed on a sense of place being a key feature of my writing - settings being a leading character, not merely a backdrop. Previous locations have included North Norfolk, British Columbia, Derbyshire, Vermont, France, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall... I'm an avid reader too - and the novels of Barbara Trapido, Jane Gardam, Rose Tremain and Mary Wesley inspired me to write.
