Only 10 weeks before my new historical romance is released. His Runaway Marchioness Returns is set in 1876, and is a marriage of convenience story with a twist (as you’d expect from me!).

Snippets from a Writer’s Life
It’s a cliché because it’s true, the older you get, the faster life whirls you by, and since the pandemic changed the world, I feel like we are travelling at warp speed. I had barely touched down from my fabulous trip to Barcelona with my mum and sisters, and I was off on another trip …
Most Intriguing News

A Winter Memory, Lulu Taylor. I met the very charming Lulu Taylor at the Yeovil …
What I’ve Been Up To
The simple answer is, writing – so I’ve seen a lot of these lovely sunrises from my window, but not much else. Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, and I have been working on our second book together, so for the last few months there’s been barely a day when we’ve not spoken, emailed or WhatsApped …
