My first novel, Go Home, coming soon
In India, the Carrington family appear to have a perfect life, but in 1947 the Raj is falling, the English are leaving India to go home, and this Anglo-Indian family are being forced to go home too.
England is a country that mother Clara and daughter Betty have never visited before, and not only are they bringing their secrets with them, but the people coming with them are not who they thought they were, and have the ability to tell all and destroy their new life.
Work in Progress
Currently working on my second novel, a historical fiction book, moving between the shores of Bournemouth to the mountains of the Lake District. Working title: The Drowned.
