Isn’t it wonderful when something truly fabulous pops up on your memories?
This is one of my favourite places in the world. It is a campsite in Claouey which has recently been devastated by wildfire.
I have known this place since I was three years old, and I have found the recent news for this truly heartbreaking..
This photograph truly caught my emotions today because I remember waking up early, slipping out of our tent and writing for a couple of hours before the rest of my family woke up
This way, Beyond Time and Tide was born… 
 I just hope that the area that I have known and loved since I was a child will recover from this appalling situation 💔

39 lovely reviews.... who might write me my 40th?! Authors hugely appreciate reviews and I would be very grateful, if you have read my second novel and enjoyed it, if you would consider writing a few lines!🙏

Beyond Time and Tide is set in the local area between Christchurch Harbour and the New Forest, and tells the story of three young people who are literally thrown together in the waters of Dunkirk. The book follows their lives to the present day, telling the story of how each one came to be there,...

International Women’s Day is an amazing way to highlight the changes we have seen over the years, and looking back at history, the World Wars were key to our emancipation.

My first novel, Walking Wounded, was all about celebrating the women. The story focuses on those left behind whilst their men folk went to war, how they survived and how their relationships evolved through periods of violence, loss and reunion. It is a very personal story set upon a world stage whose history has shaped us all through its effect on our close relatives in the generations above us.

I am so glad to be writing again.
I don’t know what might come of this. I’ve had an idea, and I can see where this might go.
When I wrote my first book, I had no expectations, I just enjoyed the process. Finding out how much I loved shaping a story.
So this time, third time around, no expectations.
Just joy in the process.

Remembrance Sunday, today.
I don’t think anything can sum up the futility of war more than knowing that people died by advancing during the very morning of the Armistice.
That’s when I chose to start this book, my first and very dear to my heart. The first chapter begins on the last day of the Great War, the War to End All Wars.
As we lose the generations above us, it matters so much to remember.

I’ve been very quiet here for a long time.
The child in Walking Wounded, Irene, was actually my Mum. Maureen, in real life.
She gave me her blessing to write the book. She asked me never to write a sequel, so my second novel was my own story.
We just lost her. She was truly the matriarch of our family, and shaped us all to become the people we all are now.
She was a survivor. She was a warrior. She was our mum. The one with the beautiful black curls, this is her on VE Day 💔
