Publication Day! The Witch House is here…
It’s a really emotional time of year for me. On 4th August 2016 I was admitted back into hospital with complications following surgery for hernia and an enormous ovarian cyst…
5th August 2017 I was admitted back into hospital with complications following surgery to fix the problems left by those complications…
(None of it was the fault of my wonderful surgeons and the hospital – it was just the goddam stupid lupus)
I had a long recovery and it took me a while to get back to writing, and to finishing the writing of The Witch House, but here we are.
And today, it’s PUBLICATION DAY!
The spell is broken. The Bad Fairy has been defeated.

I am so delighted The Witch House found a home with Red Dog whose enthusiasm has made the whole process of publication – from contract, through cover design and edits and proofs – a real joy.
So in celebration there’s going to be a bit of silliness over on my Facebook page on the next few days
