Dear Readers,

Once again we are enjoying a wonderful spring on the Isle of Wight. Residents and visitors have already been swimming in the sea and sunbathing on the beaches. Like the rest of the south-east we have had countless hours of sunshine but could do with some drenching rain for the farms and gardens.

Alongside my research I have been attending a writing for children course and will soon have a story finished and ready to download to this website.

The Undercliff Novels are still selling, here and abroad. A German retail outlet, Galeria Kaufhof, has recently licensed Blue Slipper Bay and will be printing 10,000 copies of a special edition this summer.

The Sorrow of Sisters is being considered by a film producer.

Trampling Snowdrops has not been published in paperback but is selling well as a download especially since the Kindle e-reader has appeared on the market here. It has been an exciting experiment and really enjoyable to make direct contact with readers.

Thank you for all the amazing emails you have sent me from all over the world. They never cease to delight me.

Lastly, thank you to Peter Huckle of Pagemakers for my new look website.
