March 2017 – Well, they do say GOOD NEWS comes in threes…
I’m absolutely delighted to announce that I have signed with Sara Keane from the Keane Kataria Literary Agency!
Being a writer means wearing many hats these days and everyone in the business knows how fast the day flies by and how many balls you have to juggle. I love writing and I love designing graphics to show off my book covers … but reading a contract is not my forte. So just knowing that someone with as much experience as Sara has, is in my corner, is a truly wonderful boost. And I can utter a huge sigh of relief.
I have signed a two book contract with the awesome Harper Impulse … 21 July 2017 I’m whisking my readers away
to Castrovillari, in southern Italy. If you can’t afford a holiday this year, then let me take you there – virtually in THE SECRETS OF VILLA ROSSO. The paperback will be released on 5 Oct 2017!
And 3 November 2017 – if you enjoyed ‘A Cottage in the Country’ then ‘CHRISTMAS AT BAY TREE COTTAGE’ is 
coming! The paperback will be released on 11 January 2018!

I was lucky enough to have a face-to-face meeting with the very bubbly and enthusiastic Charlotte Ledger, from Harper Impulse, at the Romantic Novelists’ Association conference on July 14, 2013.
I submitted the series ‘Angels Among Us’ consists of three novellas of around 30,000 words each – Falling, Forbidden and Forever. It was another couple of anxious weeks waiting to hear whether I was going to be offered a contract.
The phone call came when I was in the garden with little Bill, it was baby-sitting day and when I heard Charlotte’s voice on the other end it was a fireworks moment!
I turned my back for a minute – what was I thinking? Bill is three years old and had a hosepipe in his hand …
What ensued was gasps of joy, a soaking as Bill liberally sprayed both myself and the barbeque with the hosepipe and then proceeded to follow me as I ran around the garden to get away from him. He thought it was a game – goodness knows what Charlotte thought!
HarperImpulse are an amazing team and already I feel a part of it as emails have been flying back and forth. I love the direction they have chosen for the covers and titles of this series. At the RNA conference in July I also attended a talk given by Kimberley Young (publishing director of Women’s Fiction at HarperCollins) and Charlotte.
