Toffs And Tavernas
When I decided to move from Scotland to Cyprus I dreamed of a life in the sunshine and finally feeling some heat on my bones. What I didn’t fully appreciate was the extent of the warmth and kindness of the Cypriot people. Take Gabriel for example, the owner of my favourite taverna. As soon as he found out I had published Trouble At Toff Towers he was determined to tell the world all about it. Or at least the island. Up went my poster, on the taverna wall right next to the bookshelf where he lends out books for €1 each for charity. And not only that. Oh no. He has in fact decided to name a dish after my character, Louisa Toff. Originally this was to be a spicy stuffed sausage but, having given the matter careful thought, he has decided it will be chicken stuffed with cheese, bacon, mushrooms and peppers. Now why didn’t I think of that?

Toffs And Tears
Tears? Yes, tears! Luckily they are tears of happiness! The first two reviews of Trouble At Toff Towers have appeared on Amazon and I couldn't be more delighted:
Review 1: 4 Star!
The Secret Diary Of Miranda Hart
Not so much a spoof of Downton, or a Wodehouse wannabe, this is more an upper class Bridget Jones. Although not particularly suited to me, I found an original voice here. Shame about the cover though, maybe something a bit more stylish.
Review 2: 5 Star!
Made Me Laugh!
I read a lot. And I like a chuckle. Sadly, it's rare that I can combine the two - but this little tale had me sniggering nicely. In fact, there was one particular bit that I found absolutely hilarious. I'm not going to tell you what it is though, as that would spoil the fun. As it's in 'diary' format it's very easy to read in convenient bite-size chunks, and I was actually disappointed when I reached the end. Well worth a download.
