The Storyteller's Daughter has sold over 50,000 copies. That's like every single person in, say, Southampton – man woman and child – buying a copy.
Amazing.

I know there's a lot going on in the world at the moment but those who lived through 9/11 will never forget what happened that day, and nor should we.

It's another historical gothic mystery, this time set in beautiful Cornwall.

It's amazing to have this happen five novels into my writing career.
A good example, should you need one, that success very rarely happens overnight. Sometimes, persistence wins the day.

There is so much shouting on social media at the moment. So much hate. An absolute refusal to discuss or consider other points of view.
So I'm off to my imaginary world. I'll be in Victorian London if anyone needs me.

Meta has stolen my books.
It's going to make a packet from its AI but will give me nothing in return for 'scraping' (nicking) my work from a pirate site.
The UK government MUST protect its authors and ensure we are fairly compensated.

The paperwork to make me and my husband additional legal deputies for my sister has arrived.
Their existence is confirmation of an amazing story of survival.
Clare has lived with Rett syndrome for so long that there is now a possibility that she might outlive our parents.

A handsome airline captain in uniform just brought me a cappuccino in bed. The sun is peeking past the blinds.
Bummer he has to work at the weekend (again), but I do feel very lucky 😊
