Back To Work
After a lovely break, it's almost time to get stuck into the edits for Summer At The Palazzo. Georgia and the gang have had a little holiday from me, but not for much longer.

FEATURED NEWS
The latest from my writing shed, the books, and Lago di Fiore.
SEPTEMBER 2026 COVER REVEAL
At last I can share the gorgeous cover of Summer At The Palazzo! We're heading back to Lago di Fiore for sunshine, family secrets and a rather beautiful palazzo.
SEPTEMBER 2026 BOOK NEWS
One year, one book, and one very large ice cream!
Time For Tuscany turned one on the 5th September! What a year it's been. And of course, there had to be a spectacular ice cream to celebrate.
MAY 2026 A VERY SPECIAL MOMENT
Well, I didn't see that coming!
Being shortlisted for the RNA Joan Hessayon Award 2026 was one of those moments I'll treasure for a very long time. I never imagined Sara's story would take me this far.
More Time For A Little Palazzo Magic
Georgia's story is getting the extra attention it deserves, and I'm rather enjoying making her world even more wonderful. Summer At The Palazzo is now coming in May 2027, giving me a little longer to polish those final details. Some things are worth taking your time over.
A New Chapter For Me
I finally swapped the day job for life as a full-time author. No more squeezing writing into spare hours - although I'm still not entirely sure where the days disappear to.
My Debut Is Published
My debut novel launches across all formats — ebook on Kindle (including Kindle Unlimited), paperback, hardback, and signed copies available directly. Available on Amazon UK and worldwide.
BOOK NEWS · ECHOES OF THE LAKE
the series is growing
What began with Sara’s story in Time For Tuscany has become something bigger: a heartfelt series about women at turning points, each drawn to the same Italian lake, each carrying the weight of real life, and each discovering that it is never too late to begin again.
The Echoes of the Lake series will follow women through love, loss, family pressure, friendship, second chances and the quiet courage it takes to choose a different future.
Book One, Time For Tuscany, is available now.
Book Two, Summer At The Palazzo, will follow Georgia’s story.
