I’ve been having a bit of a re-think lately. I had been planning that the next of the ‘Saltbury’ series to come out would be ‘Martine’: the prequel book about how Hazel’s mums, Debbie Stewart and Martine Fauld, first fell in love. But I’m starting to think that […]
It’s always nice to add a new section to the website now and then so I have just put in a little celebration of Saltbury’s fluffier characters, called ‘Pets Corner‘. From Hoppity Rabbit to Roisin Fauld’s childhood pony Sugarlump, to Carol and Tina’s cat, Leather, and Lady Elizabeth […]
I was once advised that you should never try to write more than one story at once, but I’m afraid I’ve never managed to keep to that. In fact I prefer to write more than one at once, just as I seldom write books in a linear way, […]
My new novel, the 9th in the ‘Saltbury Chronicles’ series, has now been published on Amazon Kindle worldwide. This is another with the lovely Tina as narrator and we see a triumphant return by her absent minded ex-girlfriend Rosie. Everyone in Saltbury has heard of the town’s great […]
The ninth of my ‘Saltbury Chronicles’ series, ‘History Girls’ will be published next week on Amazon ‘Kindle’. At the moment I’m just giving it a final read through to try to catch any remaining glitches and then I’ll build the publication file with all the chapter links etc […]

I never seem to write books one at a time, let alone by neatly starting at the beginning and ending at the end. It’s not deliberate; it’s just the way things always seem to turn out. At present I have ‘History Girls’ off at the editor and it […]
They say the pictures are better on radio than TV, because your mind comes up with its own. Books are much the same, because we each create the author’s world in our own way. The written descriptions might channel our vision, but even so. If we take my […]
‘History Girls’, Book 9 of my ‘Saltbury Chronicles’ series, is finally about as good as I can make it, so it has gone off to my editor for major surgery on its punctuation and all of the hundred and one other minor miracles that editors weave. I don’t […]
I don’t think it’s giving too much away to say that part of the story of my next book, ‘History Girls’, involves the discovery of a haul of old documents in the attics of Saltbury Museum. As we know the Museum building was once the town house of […]
