What are my stories about?
1
Historical Fiction
Having grown up in an old town with a castle up on a hill, I’ve always loved history, and I got into historical fiction in my teenage years.
I love visiting castles, ruins, and museums, and I enjoy bringing my experiences ’on site’ into my works.
2
Mystery
Who doesn’t love a bit of mystery in their lives? I grew up reading pretty much all Agatha Christie novels there were, plus many others.
Later, I discovered Daphne du Maurier, Victoria Holt and Barbara Erskine, and I was hooked.
3
Romance
My first published novel (with a US-based indie press) was a Scottish romance, but as my focus was always too much on historical events and other plot lines, I realised that the romance had to play a smaller part in my novels.
Still, it’s there, to make the lives of my heroines and heroes, erm, more challenging!
