About the author

aka Donna Baker, Nicola West

Donna Thomson was born in Gosport, near Portsmouth Harbour, England, UK. Growing up during the terrifying years of the Blitz in a two-up, two-down terraced house, the youngest of four, she aspired to be a writer from an early age.

As a young woman she worked in the Civil Service and moved to Devon to be near her sailor husband. They had a son and a daughter. When the marriage ended, she and her two children moved to the Midlands, where she happily married again to her second husband. After living in the Lake District for twelve years, she finally moved back to Devon, and now lives in a village on the edge of Dartmoor. She lost her son Philip in 2008, and has two grandchildren. A keen walker and animal-lover, she now has a dog and three ginger cats to keep her busy, along with a wide range of hobbies she enjoys.

She started signing her romance novels as Donna Baker and Nicola West, now she also writes as Lilian Harry (inspired by the first names of her grandparents). Among her works are historical novels, romances and even two books giving advice on how to write short stories and novels.

Reviews

I felt so sad when I turned the final page in this book. It's the last in the series 😥 I have loved each of the 11 books. Beautifully written, I have enjoyed them all. I have followed the lives of all the people in the village and have grown to know and love them, like old friends. I hope it's not goodbye but rather farewell.

I really loved this series of books set in the 1950s in a village on Dartmoor. It follows the village’s families lives with all their celebrations and tragedies. I really didn’t want to finish and will probably read them again in a few years.
