NEW ROSE BOOK LAUNCH
I’m very excited by the book launch for The Balmoral Incident on 11 November at Blackwell's in Edinburgh, (6.30pm start). Also just packaging up a copy of the hardback to post to HRH Prince William. At the investiture earlier this year I mentioned that I was writing a book set in Balmoral and he showed an interest in reading this so now, at last, I can send a signed copy!
It is available on the Kindle and hardback, published by Allison & Busby.
Here’s a summary of the plot: Rose McQuinn is invited by her step brother Vince to stay in a small cottage on the Balmoral Estate. As Rose travels on the train with her trusty dog Thane and her step daughter Meg, she wonders what exciting adventures await them at the Royal household. Little does she realise that within just 48 hours of their arrival, death will have visited the great castle …Can Rose find out what happened and prevent any more bloodshed? 


BACK TO GOTHIC
We’ve had a makeover on three covers which were styled as contemporary crime novels. These were written long before Faro - Legend of the Loch was winner of the 1968 Best First Romantic Novel - and in fact was my first book! They belong to a certain era - I was a huge fan of Mary Stewart - but still have a lot of great qualities; dark brooding atmosphere, windswept locations, beautiful heroines and dastardly villains! I hope you enjoy these (as much as I enjoyed writing them). They are all available on amazon Kindle.
