Thanks so much for dropping by my Amazon author page. For me, there's no better escape than curling up with a brilliant historical fiction novel, and I absolutely love writing stories that take place in another world, another time. I studied history at Oxford and have always had such a passion for the past - it really does offer the most incredible inspiration for transportive, page-turning tales that can resonate with all of us today. My most recent novel, The Echoes of Love, is the most personal novel I've so far written. Set largely on the beautiful island of Crete, during the Second World War, it was inspired by my Greek grandmother who survived the Nazi occupation and met my grandfather at the liberation of Greece. It's a book full of love, but also heartbreak, and meant everything to me to write. I really hope you'll enjoy reading it as much! My other novels have been set in many other locations around the world, all of which I've been lucky enough to either travel to, or live in. Island in the East is a dual timeframe novel set in Singapore, which my family very happily called home for many years; Meet Me in Bombay is set between England and India during the First World War; Beneath a Burning Sky is a historical mystery set in Egypt; Under the Golden Sun is the story of a soul-searching nanny who, during World War Two, escorts her charge back to his family in Australia - and my newest book, coming in September 2024, is another mystery, this time set on a remote Atlantic island during the 1930s. I've loved writing every one of these novels, the characters have become like family to me, and it's always so amazing to think of you, the reader, spending your time with them. Thank you so much for doing that - I know how very many books you have to choose from - and I love nothing more than hearing from you, so please do get in touch.
