I was born in Leicester, England, and lived in our cobbler’s shop with my parents and sister. It was an old house and most definitely haunted, but I didn’t find out until I left that my great uncle had hung himself in the living room! But I think our ghost might have been older than that. It was built on the site of the old Roman cemetery, and the land had been constantly inhabited, being in the centre of town.

News

At last, some news!

I admit, I haven't been writing much recently. But I have been thinking and planning. Finally, this year, I'm ready.

Remember my books about The Daring Dersinghams, the sisters with absorbing hobbies? Well, they're going wide! New cover art, a tweak to the blurb and they're being re-released. I loved writing these books, not least because one of them was based on an

Quotes by Lynne Connolly (?)

“Never judge yourself by the narrow
standards of others. What we do together here is our
business, nobody else's. Never, never doubt what we have
just done is anything but love. Never let yourself be restricted
by thoughts of what society would have you do, what it would
accept or condemn. Please promise me that.”
― Lynne Connolly, Venice

“Impossible. But you know I'm there in spirit. In the middle of a ball, at the theater or even at court I'm here, inside you. Where I belong.”
