This is such a big moment for me - the official announcement of my deal in Publishers Marketplace. I’m a bit late - I missed it at the time - but I’m posting it anyway because it’s a 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴! (Huge thanks to my friend Saoirse Morrigan - Author for the screenshot!) #TuesNews

Like a love story with a hard #Political edge? Try The Others by Sheenx Kalayil. Expertly realised characters, gripping,well structured plot &vivid descriptions of life under an oppressive regime all cleverly bound together to depict a tumultuous time for the DDR & the characters

I'm deep into research for my next book set in in 1879. Yesterday's questions included: Did Americans drink sherry? Which trees grew in a particular square in Boston? Is the term "buddy" anachronistic? Sometimes I wish I wrote contemporary fiction. #TuesNews #BookTwitter

Here's the cover of my historical romance set on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. The book was originally published under the title Chasing Shadows and now Boldwood have agreed to republish it as Under a Spanish sky. It's probably my favourite of all my books. I hope you like it.

Annual Reminder: If you are an introvert attending #TheakstonsCrime in #Harrogate and you have not yet been assigned your legally-appointed extrovert, I can help. Just tap me on the shoulder, and wave quietly. I’ll understand and take care of you. Look for the woman in red.

It’s heeeeerreee! Cover Reveal Day at last!

Happy birthday Emmeline ❤️

I stand with Sandie Peggie - a nurse of unblemished record for 30 years. Her employer NHS Fife should have been celebrating such dedication and service, yet Sandie has been forced to take them to an employment tribunal. 1/9
