The New Arrivals – Out Next Week!

The wait is nearly over. My thirtieth book, The New Arrivals, is out next week. It’s a heartwarming, small-town romance and perfect for fans of the English countryside, and second chances.

Here’s the trailer…

Grace thought she had it all—until her perfect life fell apart.
Escaping to the Cotswolds, she finds a new job, a tiny stray kitten… and Ben, the local vet with a tragic past.

The New Arrivals expands on the short stories and Pocket Novels I’ve written for The People’s Friend magazine. That means the romance is sweet and clean, rather than the torrid spice of my Royal Romances series, Royal Passion, Royal Risk and Royal Hostage.

I love writing romance so I enjoy tailoring the heat level of my work to what my readers want. Which do you prefer to read – sweet romances, or steamy ones?

The New Arrivals will be released next Tuesday, 3rd June. Preorder here!

Coming Soon

This week I’m busy writing a short story, waiting for the release of my next independently-published romance, Royal Risk, and getting ready to send out my January newsletter. It’s all coming soon!

Christmas Comes But Once A Year…

…unless you are a writer. As well as writing novels, I write short stories and pocket Novels for The People’s Friend magazine. Publication schedules mean that stories for specific time slots such as Easter, Christmas and secular holidays need to be written and ready many months in advance.

Ideas for several stories came to me last month when our Christmas tree went up and Christmas cards started arriving. I made a note of them all. Now the excitement of Christmas 2023 is only a memory, I’m getting to work planning and crafting Christmassy short stories for 2024.

Publication Day

The next book in my Royal Romances series, Royal Risk, will be published on 30th January. You can find out more about Krisia and Athan’s story here.
