A new book on the horizon

Here’s a sneak preview of my new book, one that combines romance, magical places steeped in history and a mystery involving an artist and a photographer.

Why is Robyn reliving the tragedies of the past in her daydreams?

And who is stalking her as she travels across the north of England photographing castles?

The past is never forgotten, it can only be hidden.

A Summer of Castles

Coming soon!
