Everything new and exciting…

Loads has been happening while I’ve had my head down writing a new book! Here’s a quick round up of everything and links to where you can preorder.

In hugely exciting news, my debut young adult novel CHELSEA HIGH is coming out Spring 2020.

London’s most exclusive high school has opened its doors and invites you into the lives, loves heartbreaks and friendships of Chelsea’s bright, young elite…

In other news, THE SUMMER WE RAN AWAY is available for preorder and currently awaiting its gorgeously summery cover. I’ll update asap. It’s all about the perils of WhatsApp and fleeing your so-called perfect life under the worst circumstances! Join Julia and Amber on their Thelma and Louise-esque road trip across France in search of answers, forgiveness and themselves. Look out for it Spring/ Summer 2020


And last but not least, one of my all-time favourite books, THE HOUSE WE CALLED HOME, has been given a sparkling new make-over. Look out for it in bookshops/ supermarkets near you or buy now online…

I’m always really nosy when it comes to other people’s summer reading, so if you’re interested, here’s mine so far: An American Marriage by Tayari Jones (fascinating and a real conversation starter in terms of what-would-you-do?); One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson, the second Jackson Brodie novel. I love these books, I didn’t want this one to end!; The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker. I seem to be on a bit of a Greek myth binge because I’m also reading Stephen Fry’s Mythos; and now I’m just starting I Am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe which I started a few years ago and didn’t finish but I’m giving it another go, except the typeface in my copy is really tiny so I’m off to the library to see if there’s a newer version with a bigger font!

What have you loved this summer? Let me know. Whatever it is you’re enjoying, I wish you very happy reading!
