This is where you can read about me and my books:

My next book will be a new departure for me. Miss Burnham and the Loose Thread is a novel set in the 1920s and will be published by Transworld on 20 March 2025. I say new departure, but the novel's subject is women's lives and that's been my focus time and again.
