With the publishing industry’s obsession with book series, I have yielded to temptation and decided to continue the story of The Road to Madhapur. In 2025, I will begin working on a new novel that follows Zac and Rajani’s adventures in Bollywood. The Road to Mumbai will also continue Theo’s journey as he grapples with life after Elisha’s passing. The story has been crystallising in my mind since the publication of The Road to Madhapur in 2022. I can’t wait to start working on the project and spend more time with these remarkable characters. They are all close to my heart, and I hope my readers will also enjoy sharing their onward journeys with me.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Where did 2024 go? Life got in the way of my writing last year, but I’m now raring to get going with my projects!

Threepence on the carpet is now almost complete and ready for my editor. I can’t wait to see what magic she will bring to the manuscript. This project has had the longest development time of any of my books. I wrote the first draft before starting on Gang Girl.
A sudden inheritance from a long-lost uncle could be the lifeline Kiwi musician Tommy needs … or a Pandora’s box about to implode. Living in the UK in the swinging sixties, life was a kaleidoscope of love, truth, and high hopes for Tommy—until everything up in a puff of smoking incense and bitter betrayal.

Also coming in 2025 (hopefully!) is Godzone and the Gorillas, the final book in the Gang Girl series. Mother and son must unite to defeat the gang that tore them apart in the gripping series finale!
