Welcome to this month's update!
|
|
|
2025 is here! Can you believe it?
|
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and New Year celebrations.
|
We had a lovely time though it was saddened by the loss of our dog, Wotsit, our King Charles Spaniel, who died suddenly just before Christmas. Many tears were shed, but we still celebrated as best we could surrounded by friends and family.
|
So what's on the cards this year? I've got two books coming out as Annabel French and one as Emma Royal. My next Annabel French novel has been delivered to my editor, as have the copy edits for my Emma Royal book (the last in the Palace Girls series! 😥), and I'll shortly start work on the next Annabel French. Life continues to be busy, which I adore! And the kids are back at school - hooray! 🎉
|
I've also just seen the cover for my next Annabel French and have to say it is absolutely gorgoues! 😍😍 I can't wait to share it with you and you guys will see it as soon as I'm allowed to.
|
All my festive reads have been put away and I'm now onto my main TBR. I've got a hot topic question for you below - one that's caused some fuss on Instagram - so I'd love to know what you guys think!
|
Have you got some must-read books for 2025? Or what about the goal of writing a novel this year? If you do, I'd love to know, so please tag me on socials and let me know! Or email me so I can cheer you on.
|
|
It's back to the desk for me, but here's to smashing our 2025 goals, and as usual, happy reading everyone!

It also seems you love to read Christmas books all year round! You bunch of weirdos! 🤣🤣
|
|
I'd love to know...
Do you set a reading goal for each year? I don't but know others like to. For me it's too much stress but does it work for you and if so, what's your goal?
|
Reply to this email and let me know your answer! I'll reveal the results next month.

The Secrets of Meadow Farmhouse
|
|
Amelia loves her life in Paris. But with the surprise inheritance of her childhood home, she has no choice but to return to the small village of Meadowbank to restore her great-aunt’s old farmhouse.
|
However returning to Meadowbank means she has to confront her past, including old flame Adam, the one thing she regrets leaving behind.
|
|
When Amelia discovers a locket hidden in the farmhouse, containing the picture of a mysterious World War Two soldier, she starts to uncover the secrets of her great-aunt’s past.
|
With Adam on hand to help restore the farmhouse, she’s shocked by his generosity after so many years apart.
|
As her feelings for her first love reignite, Amelia is suddenly confused as to where she truly belongs.
|
Can Amelia finally find where her heart truly calls home?

Hetty Colman loves her life in the cosy seaside town of Swallowtail Bay, organising children’s birthdays, anniversaries and retirement parties. But after her recent break up from long-term boyfriend Ben, she’s been searching for something new.
|
So, when Hetty overhears locals wondering how to return the old strawberry festival to its former glory, she jumps at the chance to relaunch it. There are just two problems – she only has four weeks to organise it and absolutely nowhere to host it!
|
|
When Hetty manages to convince the aloof, yet extremely handsome, John Thornhill to use the grounds of his rundown manor, things start to look up. But as Hetty and John grow closer and Ben tries to win back her affections, can Hetty make the festival and her love life run smoothly at the same time?
