GONE WRITING … actually I’m writing most of the year round, but sometimes I just need to switch off and tune into the story without the distractions of social media and the noisy outside world ✍️ If you'd like to keep up with my book news, do sign up to my quarterly newsletter (link in bio), but otherwise, so long for now! 👋 ps next book is set in coastal Dorset ❤️
THANK YOU for all the lovely birthday wishes! I got the best gift today - to spend a beautiful day walking and picnicking with my most precious ones in sunny Dorset 🥰
Do you have a favourite recipe book? 👩‍🍳📚✨ I LOVE discovering new cook books, but I’m also attached to several old favourites. So many of my good memories are connected to meals shared with loved ones, and while I find lots of great new recipes online, I still prefer the joy of leafing through a real sauce-stained book, making scrappy notes in the margins (and not having to refresh the phone screen every few seconds!) Our Colour Library Indian book has the BEST curries; Davina’s Sugar-Free is my go-to for sweet treats; Bosh keeps our vegans happy; and Cranks - remember Cranks my 80s friends?! - is still a veggie fav for using up the allotment bounty. I’ve also got a v well-used Delia here that my dad gave me on my 15th birthday, four years before he died at the age of 50. I’d completely forgotten it had been a gift from him, until I rediscovered his inscription when searching for a recipe during lockdown, around the time I turned 50 ✨

Readers of my books will know how important location is to me as an inspiration for both story and character development. ‘Place’ is what anchors my cast to the world I’m building, and knowing that place is vital in helping me bring those characters to life.
