To celebrate the forthcoming publication of The Arctic Cruise, this month there is a fantastic opportunity to win a FREE 10-day cruise to see the Northern Lights – courtesy of Fred Olsen Cruise Lines and Harper Collins Publishers.
Yes! Someone will win this fabulous holiday and having experienced the cruise myself I can promise you it is a memorable and wonderful experience.
I’m also celebrating a wonderful trip to Egypt where I enjoyed a cruise on the Nile whilst researching for my next novel The Nile Cruise. I know you will enjoy sharing this trip with me and hearing all the news.
I had the pleasure of being shown around the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan, including the room where Agatha Christie stayed and wrote Death on the Nile. What a treat this was! More in the next couple of days in my newsletter…

What Makes Me A Writer
I am delighted to share this post that appears on the wonderful blog of the talented author, Morton S Gray.
In the post I discuss my journey to writing best-selling novels after being told at school that I would never be good enough…
To the teacher who told me I would never be a writer – Just look at me now!
Remember to follow your own personal dream – you have to have a dream to make a dream come true. To those aspiring writers, also remember that it is never too late to write a novel.
Happy writing and reading everyone,
With my love

The French Cookery School book tour continues…
My new novel The French Cookery School is currently on an online book tour and above is an example of posts on the blogs that host the tour. The book is receiving fantastic reviews and I am so grateful to every reviewer and reader who takes the time to post their thoughts.
This from the wonderful award-winning book reviewer Anne Williams: “This was a book I totally adored…” continued…
The French Cookery School is currently on a limited time deal on Amazon: THE FRENCH COOKERY SCHOOL (FOR ONLY 99P!)
I loved researching and writing this story after being inspired by an actual cookery school week many years ago with the talented celebrity chef Valentina Harris, in the Charente region of France.
In The French Cookery School, while shopping in a market, Fran tries ‘Tourteaux Fromage’ – a type of cake with a burnt top 
Sadly, she didn’t like it.
I was inspired to write this after trying them myself in a market in Chauvigny. I have to say it is an acquired taste …
In The French Cookery School the characters enjoy many outings when away from the kitchen and I thank everyone I met in France last summer who inspired the story. France is a very beautiful country.
Happy reading everyone
With love
