Hi Everyone

I’ve been a little quiet on here but that’s because I’ve been writing stories.

The Girl in the Glass Doorway (Book3 of the Zara timeslip series) is finished and has been to my beta readers. The next step is for the full manuscript to go back to my editor and once any adjustments are completed, it’s time for the formatting, and the cover designer begins creating a lovely new cover. I anticipate this book being published around February or March 2027.

There will be a Book 4 in the series too and I’ve already made a start on The Girl in the Listening Booth.

If you’ve not started the series yet, why not take a look at the blurb and reviews for The Girl in the Ticket Office Window and The Girl in the Attic Mirror (Book 1 and 2 of the Zara timeslip series)

In other news, Gymslip Bride, a post-war romance set in Liverpool, is next up for publication, and the process is well on its way. My cover designer Andy Keylock (Marketing Pace) is working on coming up with a brilliant cover, the formatting is complete, it’s been to my beta readers, so all that remains now is once the cover is ready, it’s uploaded and I order a proof. Following receipt, my editor goes through it with a fine tooth comb, I make any adjustments necessary, and it’s then ready for release. I’m hoping no later than November of this year, so watch this space.

I’ve made a start on a sequel for Gymslip Bride, and I anticipate this story being more of a family saga rather than romance, although it will still have lots of romance content.


If you like family saga and drama, why not check out House of Grace trilogy running from 1950s to 1980

The Woodhaerst trilogy – a 1970s love story wrapped in family drama?

And going back further for historical fiction lovers, there’s The Oath, a heartbreaking emotional rollercoaster saga set in late Victorian/ early Edwardian times.

Watch this space for more news about my upcoming books, cover reveals, preorder dates, and any offers that arise.

Happy Reading…
