Since I could first hold a pencil I have been writing stories. It was my most enjoyable hobby and one I never expected would become a career in adulthood. I am so lucky to do something I adore and luckier still that you, my readers, enable me to do it. For that I am incredibly grateful.
Over the last four decades my love of storytelling has never changed, the only thing that has changed is my audience (once only me), which now includes you! I hope to carry you away to sunnier shores, while at the same time to remind you of all that is wonderful about England. Above all, my novels are about love – not just romantic love, but Love with a capital L, because when you boil life down to its essence, love is what you’ll find. I hope to sweep you away, to make you laugh and cry in equal measure, but most of all to make it possible for you to escape for a while.
The third and final book of the Timeslider series.
One final show.
A love that defies time…
“I started this, but truly, I have no idea how to end it without breaking my heart.”
When Pixie Tate is sent to solve a mystery at the old Aphrodite Theatre in Cornwall, she expects to find another restless spirit waiting behind the velvet curtain.
But when she discovers the theatre is just a few miles down the coastline from where she met the love of her life, Cavill Pengower, she realises that it is no coincidence.
As she slips back one hundred years, Pixie knows she must not only unveil what happened to the woman whose spirit haunts the stage today, but somehow sever this powerful connection with Cavill once and for all.
Yet, as she embarks on this final journey to settle the soul and save the theatre’s production of Macbeth, she fears that this time, it might just break her forever…
The second book of the Timeslider series.
The moment Pixie Tate steps inside the opulent Aldershoff Hotel in Manhattan, one of the last relics of New York’s Gilded Age, she senses instantly that its elegant walls hide a dark secret.
Pixie knows that she must use her unique gift to travel back in time in order to discover the mysteries of the past, and as she slips back over a hundred years, she’s shocked to find herself in the midst of one of the most famous events in history.
As the stars twinkle overhead, Pixie realises that time is running out. But when she comes face-to-face with a man she thought she’d lost forever, will she keep her promise to save only the souls she should – or is it too late, and has she already changed the future?
