  Dora's Room
(Coronet, ISBN 0-340-58399-1)

Unworldly Fern Miller inherits her grandfather's estate, several hostile relatives and a host of secrets. This was my first novel, which was taken up by W H Smiths as part of their first 'Fresh Talent' promotion.

Autumn of Strangers
(Hodder & Stroughton, ISBN 0-340-65369-8)

Take an English country village, add a group of New Age travellers and what do you get? Trouble.

This book is different from my other contemporaries, not a psychological thriller this time. But like all my books it is about secrets, and the problems that result when people are taken at face value.

coverpic of Autumn of Strangers
A well written novel with a large cast of characters, a pleasing, gentle wit and a strong awareness of the countryside's historical continuity.
Sunday Telegraph
