Madame Matisse is out in the world today - a novel about the women behind the art and the explosive ultimatum in his marriage that led to the firing of a gun. A real event in Matisse’s life, never written about before. Until now...

It's always a pinch-me moment as an author to hold the finished product in your hands for the first time!

Madame Matisse will be published on Thursday 6 March!

Hope you enjoy reading it! Available to order here: amzn.to/4brienn

Happily, Madame Matisse was included in the Daily Mail's books to look out for in 2025! Thank you Eithne Farry

"It's an immersive tale of muses, betrayal, sex and bad behaviour"

Very happy to see Madame Matisse included in @historia-hwa.bsky.social's roundup of historical books to look out for in 2025, alongside some other beauties from writers I admire! Thank you @francesowen.bsky.social 🌸🌸🌸

I'm yet to meet anyone who doesn't know of Matisse. But nobody knows the name of his wife or the explosive ultimatum at the heart of his marriage

I'm excited to introduce readers to Amélie, Lydia, Marguerite

My second novel, Madame Matisse will be out March 2025!
