For readers who want to read the books in order, I’ve listed my novels and non-fiction book in order by publication date for you.

I’m often asked if there is a place and time that has particular appeal to me. My answer is always Paris between the wars. After the tragedy of the Great War, the city burst to life and became a hub of creativity in art, fashion, literature, dance and music.

Mother’s Day, which is celebrated around the world in May, conjures up images of happy motherhood and femininity – lots of pink; carnations and roses; bathrobes and bath bombs; scented candles and slippers.
It’s a time to remember and honour the woman who brought us into the world.

This is a question I’m often asked when I give book talks. And I ask it of other writers too! Who can blame us - when we love a book, we are intrigued to know what was it that inspired the writer to create that particular story?

The end of 2020 was something of a whirlwind for me with the publication of The Mystery Woman and The Divine Feline: a chic cat lady’s guide to woman’s best friend, within months of each other.

The stores listed now have signed copies of both The Mystery Woman and The Divine Feline.

Many stores now offer online and postal orders, so you can inquire about ordering signed copies over the telephone and having the book sent to you.

Strong, self-determined female characters are the lifeblood of good commercial fiction. Modern readers quickly tire of a female protagonist who doesn’t have an intelligent thought in her head or who keeps fainting every time a challenge arises.

Quite often I’m asked about my detailed descriptions of my characters’ living spaces. To me, where my character lives says as much about them as their words and actions.

One of the most gratifying compliments I receive about my novels is that I bring the settings to life for readers in such a way that they feel they themselves are there along with the characters
