Lose yourself in my fiction:
Where the past refuses to stay buried
Every story I write begins with a question someone forgot to ask.
A secret kept too long. A life lived in the shadow of someone else’s choices. A woman navigating impossible circumstances with more courage than anyone around her ever noticed.
I write historical mysteries rooted in the lives of ordinary women during extraordinary times; stories that move between timelines, shift between perspectives, and ask you to piece together the truth alongside the characters living it. If you love fiction that rewards your attention, keeps you guessing, and leaves you thinking long after the last page, you’re in exactly the right place.
The Home Front Series
Two books. One family secret that reaches across generations.
Set against the backdrop of wartime London and the lives of women shaped by conflict, loss, and the weight of things left unsaid.
The Home Front Series follows Anna Forrester as she unravels a mystery that begins with a dead woman’s diary and ends somewhere she never expected.
Both books are available now.
Anna’s Home Front — Book 1
September 1940. In the middle of a Blitz raid on wartime London, journalist Anna Forrester receives the phone call that will change everything.
Her dying mother leaves her the diary of the long-deceased aristocratic heiress Elizabeth Leyac. Just who was Elizabeth, and what is the connection to the famous mystery of the missing Leyac twin, stolen from his crib just hours after birth?
Two women. Two wars. One secret that has been buried for a very long time.
The Prisoner — Book 2
November 1940. Anna tries to return to her life in Fleet Street, but the revelations in Elizabeth’s diary have left more questions than answers, and there are those who would work against her for their own gain.
Meanwhile, in Germany, a British airman is taken prisoner following a plane crash. He is carrying a secret that could change the course of the war. A secret he must keep at all costs, even as the letters begin to arrive from a girl who was never part of the plan.
Bramblewood Mysteries
A murder mystery series set in a small village in the North East of England, 1940 onwards.
When murder comes to Bramblewood village, it falls to an unlikely group to find the truth. These are stories of secrets buried in the past, communities that know more than they say, and the particular kind of courage it takes to keep looking when everyone else has stopped.
The first book in the series is coming in 2026. The free short story prequel The Lost Letters of Bramblewood, will be available ahead of publication.

From the writing room
I write about the research, the process, and the particular joy and frustration of bringing historical fiction to life. If you’re curious about the stories behind the stories, the journal is a good place to start.
