I’d forgotten how hectic and exciting it is promoting a new book! Yesterday, I had great fun talking to several radio hosts in America. In the first one, my cat even made an unscheduled guest appearance – live radio, you really can’t prepare for it! You can listen to the podcasts below to learn more about the story behind A MEMORY OF VIOLETS, and a little more about me.

I also recorded this short video for Sutter Home Wines who have selected A MEMORY OF VIOLETS as their February Bookclub read. I especially love that the book has been paired with a Pinot Noir which has scents of violets. It sounds delicious. I must try it!
In other exciting news, I’m so thrilled that A MEMORY OF VIOLETS has been selected by WHSmith travel as one of their Fresh Talent titles and is available now in retail outlets at airports and railway stations.

Lots more news to come. Remember you can follow the official book tour for all the latest reviews, excerpts and competitions.

So thrilled for you Hazel – I couldn’t think of a nicer person to achieve this success. I’m so happy for you and can’t wait to read A Memory Of Violets.
Thanks so much, Sandra. You’re very kind :) xx
A Memory of Viloets is my next read. I’m just itching to start turning those pages. :) Congrats on all that has and is coming your way. Your characters just pulled me right along with the story itself. Thank you for the wonderful hours of reading your writing has given me.

Great to hear! Thank you, Carol – hope you enjoy! x
Just finished reading at the beach! This is one of my favorite books of all times! I’m telling everyone about it. What a beautiful writer you are. I absolutely loved being taken back to this period of time and being part of the flower sellers lives. So many thoughts about their personal stories. You totally captured my heart in this wonderful story. Can’t wait to read your first book now and look forward to many more books from you in the future! Thank you for sharing your talents, they are a gift!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Becki. I’m so pleased you enjoyed the book. :) x
