Hello, and welcome to my author page. In it, you will learn a little about the background to my stories. GREAT NEWS! THE BUTTERFLY GIRL, Book 11 in my Devonshire series, is now available to pre-order! It's another heart-wrenching tale based on true events during the Plymouth Blitz. This story is particularly close to my heart as it is partly inspired by the many stories my mother related about when she trained as a nurse in London during the war. For those of you who are new to my books, each is a stand-alone, but you will enjoy them most if they are read in order as there are threads that link them together. The first in the series is THE HARBOUR MASTER'S DAUGHTER, based on the history of Morwellham Quay, once the greatest copper port in the whole of Queen Victoria's Empire. Four more Victorian tales follow, mainly set on the wilds of Dartmoor, illustrating different aspects of the harsh life on the moor, from farming, mining and quarrying, to the little known gunpowder factory and the infamous prison. A Box Set is available to download of Books 1-5, the Victorian tales. A second Box Set of Books 6-10 is also now available to download, covering both world wars and into the 1950s, in which we see how the ugly tentacles of war reach way beyond the end of the conflicts. There are two WW1 titles, showing how sleepy Devon was just as involved as anywhere. Then we jump forward to the 1950s with two stories of the legacy of war, before popping back to the WW2 years with Book 10, THE CONVENT GIRL. The action actually begins in a convent in Ireland, based on my own mother's childhood there - and yes, she led a fascinating life - before moving to Plymouth where we see the build-up to hostilities through the eyes of the heroine. What will happen to her when war breaks out and Plymouth is devastated by the Blitz? And don't forget my four London and Kent sagas, of which THE STREET OF BROKEN DREAMS won SAGA OF THE YEAR in the prestigious RNA Awards 2020, so I can officially call myself an award-winning author! It’s the summer of 1945 and WW2 is drawing to a close. But for some it can never end. Set in Battersea, London, where I myself lived as a small child, it's another gripping, powerful drama, quite dark in places. I believe that, like all my novels, it will tug at your heartstrings. Whichever of my books you choose to read, I do hope you enjoy them! So why not take a look at my website for more details? I'm sure you will discover many hours of engrossing reading!
