April's News!
|
|
|
|
|
Welcome to this month's update!
|
|
|
By the time this reaches your inbox I'll actually be away on a family holiday, and as long as my children stop bickering for five minutes, it should be fun! 🤣🤣
|
Anyway, so you know what's happening on the writing front, I've been busy finishing page proofs of The Floating Amsterdam Flower Shop which comes out in June, so that's ready to go and now it's onto the marketing side of things. As a traditionally published author, we do get some support but we also have to do a lot ourselves, so I'm working to try and make this book successful sales wise! I'm really proud of this story and the cover is so gorgeous I want the whole world to see it. If you get chance to spread the word once it's published, please do! Reviews and word of mouth recommendations make such a difference to us authors and we are always grateful.
|
This month also brings us a lovely long bank holiday (if you're in the UK) and I've included a list of some binge-worthy romance books if you plan to spend it on the sofa, chilling out. I hope you find something you like there.
|
As usual, there's also a list of 99p bargains from my backlist, and books I've loved this month, but that's it from me as my washing machine is calling me (literally beeping to tell me it's done!) and I need to go and do some more so I can pack for the holiday and then I'm onto more writing stuff!
|
|
I hope you have a brilliant April!
|
|
Happy reading and lots of love,

The Little Library on Cherry Lane
|
|
Elsie Martin may lead a quiet life, but working in her beloved local library is enough to make her happy. After all, books have always been her armour against the world.
|
So when the library is threatened with closure to make way for a new housing development, Elsie knows it has to be saved – and that, despite being painfully shy, she needs to lead the campaign to save it.
|
Jacob Yardley thinks he’s doing the right thing by building a new affordable housing development. Why shouldn’t local people be able to buy a house in the place they grew up? Having to leave his own small hometown broke his heart. Plus, people don’t really use libraries anymore, do they?
|
|
As Elsie and Jacob clash over the future of the library, sparks begin to fly. Jacob is falling back in love with books and libraries – could he possibly be falling for her too? And will Elsie be able to save the library that means so much to her?

In the little town of Greenley-on-Sea, summer has arrived. The turquoise waters of the sea sparkle in the sunlight, and along the beach’s promenade holiday-makers spill from ice-cream parlours and vintage shops.
|
|
For Sarah, summer brings the chance for a fresh start. As well as playing Miranda in the Greenley Players’ production of The Tempest (where she’ll get to spend loads of time with her best friends Lottie and Sid) she finally feels ready to find love again after surviving heartbreak. Could her handsome colleague Dr Finn Macdonald be the very man she’s looking for?
|
Famous actor Nate finds himself hiding out in Greenley whilst a potentially career-ruining scandal blows over. But when the Greenley Players get wind of his arrival, they draft him in to help out with their performance - and Nate certainly didn’t bank on his instant connection with the beautiful woman in the lead role…
|
|
As the temperature rises and the Players’ performance draws closer, can Sarah and Nate overcome their pasts and find love again?
