I have the most exciting author event coming up!! I am overjoyed to be launching my latest novella, Marriage & Mayhem , at the Gloucester Library!

Susan, Goodreads review " Sharp and witty , escapist fun." Pauline Reid "I adore this series and set of individuals so much!" Emma, Goodreads review "You're up for a great time , following t...
