ELLIE AND THE HARP MAKER, my debut novel, is a quirky love story set in the Exmoor countryside. It includes some very eccentric characters: Dan (who obsessively makes harps and sandwiches), Ellie (who is so keen to see the good in people she doesn't notice what's under her own nose) and a heroic pheasant named Phineas. It was inspired by my love of music and nature. Although my second book has made a bigger splash, this one remains very close to my heart.

​

AWAY WITH THE PENGUINS (USA Title = HOW THE PENGUINS SAVED VERONICA) is about a feisty eighty-five year old millionairess and her adventures in Antarctica! It was inspired by the go-for-it attitude of some of the older people I know and my concerns for the environment, not to mention the incredible resilience and cheerfulness of penguins. AWAY WITH THE PENGUINS was selected for both BBC Radio 2's Book Club and Richard & Judy's Book Club. It is a number one bestseller in ebook and in audiobook. 

​

CALL OF THE PENGUINS takes Veronica on a further globe-trotting adventure where, in the company of her favourite TV presenter and a little girl who is recovering from cancer, she meets thousands more penguins. Meanwhile her grandson is digging into a family mystery which brings several shocks and surprises.

​

GONE WITH THE PENGUINS will be published this November. It is the third and last in the penguins series, and I really think this time Veronica has outdone herself!

​

LIFE AND OTTER MIRACLES Clever, nosey Phoebe Featherstone is unable to get out much but she has a talent for deducing other people's secrets by examining the parcels delivered by her courier father. The discovery of an abandoned baby otter leads to further revelations, and she soon realises something is amiss at the local otter sanctuary. She will need to overcome her own closely-guarded issues and use all her sleuthing skills to save the otters.
