Welcome to this month's update!
|
|
|
Sorry this is a bit late! The bank holiday completely through me off and life has been mad with school holidays!
|
Anyway, here's your sneaky behind-the-scenes update on what's coming soon and I'm starting with my exclusive news...I've just signed a new contract for three more Annabel French books and am writing the first one in that new series now! More details to come as and when I'm allowed to share but I've got more gorgeous romances set in beautiful locations for you.
|
Did you also see the cover reveal for the last in the Floating Series, The Floating Copenhagen Cafe? If not, take a look below, it's stunning!
|
And thank you to everyone who's bought a copy of The Floating Venice Bookshop! I've had such lovely comments from readers and I'm so grateful to you all. My publishers are happy with the sales figures coming in from the supermarkets and that's all down to you guys so thank you so much!
|
And that's about it! Apart from writing I'm just trying to remember to feed my family and keep on top of life, which isn't always easy, but we get there in the end. 🤣
|
|
I hope you're all doing well and are ready for this lovely sunshine we're having right now.

The Floating Copenhagen Cafe
|
|
Can summer love last forever?
Milly is reeling from a recent heartbreak when she’s offered the chance to go to Copenhagen for a gorgeous summer and help revive an idyllic, but struggling, cafe on the canal. She jumps at the chance for fun drama-free, solo summer floating along the Danish canals.
|
The only problem with her plan? Theo: the café's beautiful but brooding chef who challenges her at every turn.
|
As they work together and their fiery connection grows, Milly wonders if she might have finally found everything she’s been looking for. Their sizzling attraction is undeniable, but Milly and Theo have both been hurt before, and Milly worries that their carefully guarded hearts might be closed to love forever.
|
As summer draws to a close, Milly must decide, will she fight for their relationship or retreat to her carefully curated life in England?
|

The Floating Copenhagen Cafe is out in July 2026

This month I'd love to know...
|
|
|
Do you prefer spicy romance or slow burn?
|
I actually love reading (and writing!) both! And tend to go from one to another so I get lots of variety in my romance reading.

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?

Summer Season on the Seafront
|
|
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 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 doesn’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?
