Turtles hatching on the beach, a hummingbird visiting our hotel room, sunsets, beaches, ceviche, cocktails, dessert cooked by my Valentine, Long Mynd in the sunshine, hiking and hilarity, disco dancing with kitchen utensils for microphones, old friends, Pearl in a cagoule, Pearl’s skinny legs after a sharp haircut, names carved into a tree which gave me an idea for my book, the location for my new book, tears over the proof pages of my Christmas book…
What a month!
PS watching turtles hatch has been on my bucket list for years, what’s on yours?

Readers often ask me when a book is going to be released in their language. But the decision to translate novels into other languages is usually not in the hands of authors. Translation rights are bought and sold at international book fairs like London Book Fair taking place this week. I’ve loved every one of my visits and learned so much. Authors, do you go? Readers, did you know how your favourite books find their way to other countries?

The Sunrise Sisterhood…
This book of mine brings back so many memories. It came out in 2023, a year of so much change for me. I was reeling from losing Tony, wandering around my empty house feeling glad I’d raised two independent daughters, but missing the sunshine they bring into my life. I was pouring my heart into my writing (Somewhere Only We Know AND Merrily Ever After) and I was wondering what next… what do I want my life to look like in the future, where do I go from here, what is the most important thing to me right now? And amongst all of this, The Sunrise Sisterhood was published. A book about learning to be your true self, about being unapologetically you, about muting the negative things we tell ourselves (or hear from others) and actively seeking the life we want. Looking back now, from a place of happiness and positivity for my future, it was exactly the book I needed to read. Maybe it’s the book you need to read (or listen to - Lesley Sharp is the perfect narrator for this story). The ebook is currently 99p - treat yourself. ... See MoreSee Less
