It is hard to believe that it was just one year ago today when THE GIRL WHO CAME HOME was released as a paperback in the U.S. So much has happened since then and I have much to be grateful for, not least the recent acknowledgement by the Romantic Novelists’ Association, who awarded the book the Historical Romantic Novel of the Year. The perfect icing on the cake!

To celebrate the book’s first birthday, and to thank readers for all their amazing support, I’m giving away a signed copy of both THE GIRL WHO CAME HOME and my latest novel A MEMORY OF VIOLETS. To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment on this post. I will select a random winner from my website, Facebook and Twitter pages. The competition will close at midnight on Monday 6th April.


Good luck!

Loved both books! happy birthday to THE GIRL!
Thank you, Elizabeth! :)
What a difference a year makes. Congrats on the award. It was certainly well deserved. She certainly gave me a few hours of reading enjoyment. :) Thank you so much Hazel for the giveaway. I’m looking forward to reading A Memory Of Violets.

I am always looking for new authors to read. You write the kinds of books I enjoy reading.
I have added your name to my TBR list
Thank you, Joye! :)
Cannot believe I have only recently discovered this book! Happy Birthday to The Girl who Came Home! It is without doubt one of the best books I have read, and I read a lot of books!!! A Memory of Violets is also a beautifully written book, so what could be better than having signed copies to treasure? Both books have affected me in ways that other books haven’t, and considering they are of a genre I may not normally choose, this must make them very special indeed!! Well done Hazel x
Thank you, Danae! I’m so pleased you enjoyed the books. :)
Happy Birthday to The Girl! Congrats! I would love the signed copies.
