Revealing my new novel of 2026 ~ The Season of the Rose!

The Season of the Rose is a prequel to Tales from the Manor, set in post War 1920s England. For everyone who has loved Tales already… this one’s for you 🥰 (There’s absolutely no need to read them in order, it can pretty much act as a standalone, or in order of release! ☺️)

🏰🥀🏰 Blurb: 

BEFORE THE TALES, THERE WAS THE SEASON.

Long before the guests arrived, before the secrets took root, Hartshaw Manor bloomed.

In these five stories, discover how beauty became obsession, how longing became loss, and how a place of dreams became a house you might never leave.

Perfect for fans of 1408 and The Haunting of Hill House.

☀️ Available to order: Tuesday 7th July! Save the Date! ☀️

(In e-book, paperback & hardcover on Amazon)

Celebrating Christmas ~ Tales & the festive spirit

Leave a comment

Christmas is finally around the corner! Are there any festive books on your radar?

They say to write what you want to read and this time I was really yearning for that gothic, historical cosy feeling, with a bit of the uncanny (also to try my hand at writing a psychological horror!) Especially as the cold, dark, winter months are upon us!

I was inspired by more traditional folk tales, as well as some more of the unique eerie, Victorian Literature based around this season! You’ve got your dolls and dream terrors, but also more fantastical, gothic romance.

If you end up picking ‘Tales from the Manor‘ either for yourself or a loved one this Christmas, firstly thank you! and secondly, I hope you enjoy this journey.

Let me know if you’ll be reading ‘Tales from the Manor‘ (I’ll probably be dipping into it during the Xmas week!) & we can do a buddy read together! 🙂
