A Tale of Two Litfests
On Saturday I drove nearly a hundred miles and stayed in the same county. I hadn’t realised Dorset was quite so big. Admittedly, I live on the very western fringes and I was travelling to the Wiltshire/Somerset border but even so. I’m familiar with the coast but didn’t know the area I was heading […]
Italian rights sold!
Hi folks, I’m really sorry to neglect you. Can’t believe how the time has flown. I’m deep in some sticky edits and have a new puppy – both time sucks of the highest order. I do have some exciting news though – Harper Impulse have sold the Italian rights to The Little Book Cafe! […]
The Little Book Cafe – paperback!
The thrill of holding the paperback copy of a book you’ve written never fades. Had a surprise delivery this morning – a box of the latest. The Little Book Cafe paperback is out next month. Not Christmassy at all but might make the perfect present 😁 Please note it’s Tash’s, Emma’s and Amy’s stories in […]
Women and Power
2018 is the centenary of the armistice. It’s also one hundred years since women were given the vote. National Trust houses are few and far between where I live but Killerton, near Cullompton in Devon, is a favourite. This autumn it played host to an exhibition, Women and Power: The Struggle for Suffrage. As it […]
RIP my best friend
Bertie was our first dog. I’d always wanted one but timing and lifestyle was never quite right. When it was, I researched breeds, whether or not to get a rescue and eventually decided on a cocker spaniel puppy. Bert was the first-born and the biggest and greediest in the litter. I viewed his mum and […]

Finding inspiration …
If you didn’t catch it, here’s the blog I did for Harper Impulse which explains a little about the background to the Berecombe books. Once upon a time, a long time ago, a very ordinary little girl from a very ordinary family climbed into the car and travelled south to holiday in a special town […]
New book!!!
Today sees the publication of the first novella in the new Berecombe series. Millie’s life has moved on and she spots an opportunity when the derelict seaman’s chapel comes up for sale next door to her café. She sets it up as a book shop and hires manager, Amy, who organises a whole series of activities […]
News … News … News … and Reviews …
Hello my lovelies, Hope you’re all enjoying this fantastic summer and taking some time out to read on the beach or in a shady garden. Have to say my preference is the latter as I don’t do well in the heat! I love lounging under a tree with my toes out in the sun and […]
