Kirkus Reviews magazine picked my fun 1930s "The Cold Kid Case: A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery" for the 8/1/2025 issue. They select under 25% of indie books for the magazine. Wow!

Brrr, it’s getting chilly out there. Time to wear your chunkiest knits, settle down with a warm, delicious drink, snuggle up in a fleecy blanket & let me take you back to sunny #Cornwall at the turn of the 20th Century. #CornishChronicles

Thank you to the lovely people who bought my books from the café shop and sent me a photo of them in the location the book is set in.

Edging a tiny bit closer to publishing the 9th Cornish Chronicles novel – Past, Present & Future – so perhaps now is the perfect time to lounge in the sunshine and read or re-read... The 8th novel in the series, Somewhere Out There

#HistFicMayDay 7 - real people/places or fictional? All the Cornish locations in my books are real. Only one character in the #CornishChronicles is based on a real person, though some of my more disagreeable characters are snippets of unpleasant people I've had the great misfortune to meet.

#HistFicMay Day 6 - why this time period? My new Cornish Chronicles book is set in 1924. I love this era - the clothes, the lifestyle - the way the world is moving on from the Great War and the rise of the the modern woman. Life was simple but ever changing. #Gatsby #Cornwall

#HistFicMay Day 5 - introduce your setting? The novel I’m working on at the moment - the 9th Cornish Chronicles novel - is set in 1924, within the opulence of Bochym Manor & against the backdrop of the wild, romantic Cornish coast. Think #DowntonAbbey #Poldark #Gatsby 🍸☀️❤️

HistFicMay Day 4 - do you write in any other genres/subgenres? No, I always write romantic fiction, having said that, they're not your average Mills & Boon! My characters negotiate many traumas, fights, accidents & murders! But I always weave a love story through them. 😉❤️
