I’m delighted to announce that A Winter’s Romance, an anthology of short stories all set in the Regency period, is now up for pre-order on Amazon. My story, ‘A Christmas Wish’ is included.

A Curious Case
It’s not long until my next paranormal mystery/romance, A Plethora of Phantoms, is released. Set in present day Bath, the story features a Regency period dressing case. The idea came to me when I spotted this beauty on the internet. As you can see, the case is cleverly designed to hold everything that a well-heeled […]

When is a Romance Not a Romance?
After a stressful week I was looking for some escapism, so I settled on a book I haven’t read in years – Georgette Heyer’s A Civil Contract.
