Two new books

I'm really delighted to announce that Pan Macmillan has contracted me to write two further books. The first, provisionally entitled JUBILEE, is about the disappearance of a girl from a Silver Jubilee party in a chocolate-box pretty village 1977 and how this mystery relates to less than chocolate-box pretty events occuring in her farming family decades earlier.I have no idea what the second one will be about though I did have an idea when we up in Scotland on a long family walk through a very icy, very beautiful copse beside an almost frozen Highland river.JUBILEE has to be completed by the end of May. I have set myself the task of writing at least one thousand words every working day.

RESTITUTION an editor's pick

I'm delighted to discover that Restitution is an editor's pick at the Historical Novels Review (scroll down nine titles). [Photo]
