Book news and book news!

So, I am still at the very early stages of doing promotion for my Taproot Press book, 'HOPE NEVER KNEW HORIZON'. It just got a great review by the Glasgow Herald where it was described as 'A book that glows with positivity, seeking out the magic and romance underlying the everyday'.  This was a book the idea for which arrived in the darkest days of Lockdown - I decided then that I wanted to write something with hope in it, something positive and nothing to do with the pandemic. It was just that thought for a long time till slowly the universe offered up full-of-hope stories for me to write.

Then today the Bookseller announced news about my next book, coming from Fairlight Books in early 2025. It is called 'WOMAN IN BLUE' and was inspired by Vermeer's wonderful painting, Woman in Blue Reading a Letter. This story came to me in a dream, or at least in the middle of the night when I woke up and it was still dark and I was somewhere between sleeping and waking, and the woman in the painting was talking to me... I put the bedside light on and made some notes in a notebook. And the whole thing was there and just needed to be written. I wasn't even looking for something new to write! And it will be a new book in February 2025!! Can't wait!

THANK YOU, ANNIE

So I have received my first rating and review for 'Hope Never Knew Horizon' on Goodreads. It came from someone called Annie. She's already read four or five of my other books and consistently awarded them five stars and even reviewed the two most recent books ('Blue Postcards' and 'With or Without Angels') - lovely reviews btw. For 'Hope' she again thought it a five star read but it was her review that got my attention... just two words: 'Of course'!!! Annie now expects me to write five star work! That's something special. Thank you, Annie!
