Additionally, if you're in the UK, I'm offering my three short story collections as a limited edition paperback bundle for just £10 (including P&P). 

Our Beautiful Child contains three novellas all set in and around the same pub. There’s a mystery, a ghost, and a crisis – the stories interweave but there’s a specific flavour to each of them.
That Sadie Thing gathers my published and prize-winning stories between 1994 and 2010, including a couple of my all-time favourites Beth and Omelette, and the very first story I had accepted.
You. I. Us. is a collection of vignettes (often no more than a page in length) with a few longer stories thrown in. It includes my 2015 Costa Short Story Prize winning Watching the Storm Roll In.

It's been a whirlwind couple of months since Small Forgotten Moments was published, so here's a glimpse of what I've been up to.

I'm featured on The Enterprising Writer discussing my lack of planning and how I 'bumble' around trying to find the right story.

I talked about my whole writing career with Roz Morris, from the first inkling I might be a writer up to how I coped with lockdown.

Hilary Melton-Butcher is a wonderful online friend who won a copy of Small Forgotten Moments and then featured me on her blog, Positive Letters... Inspirational Stories.

I got a little petulant about beaches over on Elizabeth Seckman's blog.

And finally, I talked to Nick Wilford about how I recycle my words to make a bad book better.

​To celebrate the launch of my latest novel Small Forgotten Moments, I’m giving away this stunning blue sea glass pendant. It was sourced on the very beach where the novel is set by the wonderfully talented and keen-eyed Megan at SeaShaw Sea Glass Jewellery.

Blue sea glass is apparently rare, so when Megan showed it to me, I knew it was the perfect prize. I mention a blue necklace in the novel, and although it’s not sea glass, the coincidence was too good to pass up.

The pendant is roughly one centimetre wide, making it a lovely delicate piece, and hangs on 16cm silver chain.

​Is Zenna a muse, a sleep-deprived apparition, or something much more sinister?

Suffering long-term amnesia, artist Jo Mckye is ready to start a fresh, new project after the success of her debut exhibition. But the fictional subject of the collection, Zenna, won’t let go so easily. Infiltrating Jo’s dreams—and increasingly, her waking hours—Zenna is fast becoming a dangerous obsession.

Jo is confident the answers lie at her childhood home, an idyllic Cornish village on the south-east coast; she just doesn’t know why. Only when she walks into the sea and almost drowns does the past start to unravel.

Haunting and melodic, fans of Daphne du Maurier and Daisy Johnson will adore this.

31st August is publication day, and to celebrate I'm having a Zoom launch party, co-hosted by my long-time writing friend J.S. Watts who will be in charge of a Q&A session.

Bring your own drinks and snacks and settle down for 40 minutes of me being embarrassed in front of a camera!

My local bookshop, The Bookshelf in Saltash, is has invited me to have a book signing on 8th September.

Not only will I be signing books and having a chat about the novel, I'll be indulging in their delicious chocolate cakes and coffees.
