AUDIOBOOK NEWS!
I’m delighted to announce that the Barging In audiobook is in the works! The narrator is none other than the wonderful Angela Dawe. She worked the Dawe magic so well on the South Downs Romance Series that it was a no-brainer, plus, she’s my favourite narrator so 🤷‍♀️

🎉 BIRTHDAY BOOK GIVEAWAY!!! 🎉
It’s the end of my birthday week, so I’m celebrating with a paperback giveaway of my new release, Barging In!
The book features epic amounts of cake and even my first words in the acknowledgments are “I love cake!” because I couldn’t live without it.

I can't tell you how sad, exhausted & furious I am right now: The sapphic book community is facing another catfishing situation.

There's a pattern of obvious deception, but I want you to draw your own conclusions.
