Hello! I’m delighted to tell you that my newest novel, BESIDE THE TURQUOISE SEA, is OUT NOW! Published by Boldwood Books, it’s the second in my series set in stunning Crete. I'm currently busy writing the third installment, to be published in Feb 2026 (Gosh that sounds a long way off! I bet it comes round quickly, though). I really hope you enjoy my latest offering - a gripping tale of secrets, lies, misunderstandings, friendship, egoism - and love. Nothing is quite as it seems in the beautiful but mysterious holiday home - Villa Ariadne. If you like the book, do please spread the word and maybe write a review. Thank you so much. Every little helps! My previous book is BENEATH THE LEMON TREES, and before that I wrote THE HOUSE ON ROCKAWAY BEACH, where the action takes place on New York's sizzling urban beach. Prior to this, I wrote a series of five Cornish books set in the fictional seaside village of Tremarnock. I've also written The Darling Girls, Never Close Your Eyes and Gym and Slimline. They're very different stories, but all are warm, heartfelt tales about women, love, life, work, relationships and families, so maybe they're not that dissimilar after all. I studied English at Cambridge University before becoming a journalist for local and national newspapers and women's magazines. I live in South West London and have three children and three delicious grandchildren. As well as visiting Cornwall, New York and Crete (of course!) I like reading (a lot), hiking with friends and wild swimming. Show me a stretch of clean looking water on a warm day and I'll be in!
