New novel


A quick update to let you know that my next novel – number six, believe it or not – is coming in 2021.

It’s currently slated for release in the UK on 30 September.

And even though a final title hasn’t yet been decided, the good news is that you can already pre-order it HERE.

So what’s it about?

Young bride-to-be Rose meets manipulative stranger Cassie in what she’s tricked to believe is a chance encounter.

Thrust together in close quarters, just days before the marriage, Rose unknowingly gets sucked into Cassie’s mysterious plot as the pair exchange life stories.

Who is this inscrutable older woman?

How much of what she says can be trusted?

What exactly does Cassie want from Rose – and why now, so close to her wedding day?

That’s pretty much all I can tell you at this point. Hopefully it’s enough of a flavour to whet your appetite.

If you enjoyed any of my earlier novels, particularly 2019’s My Sister’s Lies, I think this one will be right up your alley.

The working title, which I chose when I first came up with the concept, is My Father’s Daughter.

Don’t get too attached to that, though, as it will almost certainly change before the book is released.

I’ve recently finished structural edits on the manuscript, in conjunction with my editor at Avon, and I’ll be on to line/copy edits in due course.

Hopefully we’ll have a final title and cover design to show you before too long.

Watch this space for further updates as publication day approaches.

Book five released

I’m delighted to report that my fifth novel has been released here in the UK.

How to Save a Life is available to buy right now in paperback, ebook and audiobook formats.

You can order a copy from Amazon, Waterstones, Foyles, Blackwell’s etc. or your local independent bookshop.

It’s been described by Imogen Clark, bestselling author of Where The Story Starts, as: ‘A heartwarming and thought-provoking story of grief, redemption and reinvention in our modern world.’

Here’s a taste of what it’s about:

When a stranger saves Luke’s life, he knows he’s been given a second chance. He’s going to make it count – and, determined to live each day to its fullest, he starts by saying yes to everything life has to offer.

Slowly but surely, Luke learns that a little bit of blue-sky thinking can go a long way, and things start to look up.

But when Luke’s new resolve is tested, will he return to his old ways? Or can one fateful moment truly save a life?
