Where the Wild Cherries Grow: US Release!
Last week was a great one here; Where the Wild Cherries Grow was released in the US by St Martin’s Press in a beautiful hardback edition. The response from readers and bloggers so far has been wonderful; a huge thank you especially to Erika Robuck for hosting a recommendation, review and giveaway on her blog,…

Cover Reveal: The Secrets Between Us
It seems like yesterday that I was going through the page proofs for my new novel with a red pen, thinking “well, I’ll have a few months at least to get used to the idea of this being a real book”. But then, a surprise came through from my publisher: it wouldn’t be months to…

Where the Wild Cherries Grow: a playlist
To celebrate the e-book release of Where the Wild Cherries Grow on the 23rd March, I thought I’d put together something special: a playlist of songs that inspired my writing, remind me of the characters, or just seem to fit the tone of the novel. This is a very mixed bag, from classical nocturnes to…

New Book Klaxon! Where the Wild Cherries Grow

The Confectioner’s Tale Abroad
I always love receiving book-post, and last week brought two very exciting book-post packages. Both were to do with the arrival of The Confectioner’s Tale in different countries, this time Italy and the USA! First up is the the Italian version, a lovely hardback edition released last week by Piemme as: Una deliziosa pasticceria a…

Publication Day!
IT’S PUBLICATION DAY! Yes, it’s finally here: the official publication day of The Confectioner’s Tale! It’s been a long journey, filled with many, many drafts, plot changes, character chopping and chapter juggling, but TCT (as it’s affectionately known) is now a real book, and out in the world for anyone to pick up – and hopefully…

The Confectioner’s Tale Blog Tour
I can’t believe how quickly the last month has flown by; publication day (23rd April) has snuck up behind me and now it’s looming around the corner! I’m so excited to see The Confectioner’s Tale out in the shops at last, although it’s still a highly surreal feeling. Anyway, to celebrate the book’s release, those…
