Historical Romance & Family Sagas, Serials,
Short Stories and Stories for Children
Hello!
Welcome to my new webpage. I've had a lot of fun putting it together, and hope you'll enjoy dipping into the pages.
I've always been a bookworm! As a child, I loved being told stories and when I was able to read for myself, The Famous Five books became great favourites! In my mind's eye, I could see those mysterious islands, caves, castles and cliffs so vividly it was easy to imagine being inside the story's world with Anne, George, Dick, Julian and Timmy.
I was born within sight and sound, and just a few minutes walk, from the seashore up along the coast from Liverpool. Although during my early childhood I grew up in a built-up part of town where there weren't trees, grass or wildlife and everyone lived in long streets of houses with brick backyards not gardens, my family was very fortunate in always being within reach of the shore. Days out and school holidays were spent down amongst the sand dunes or paddling in the tide.
Sea and shore are constantly changing; colour, sounds, shapes, scents and mood. The seashore drew and fascinated me when I was little, it does still. And for as long as I can remember, I've loved to read books and don't ever recall a time when I didn't want to be a writer!
The seashore never fails to inspire my writing -- Anything, everything, seems within reach when you're there -- Of course, once you get back to real life and face that big blank sheet of paper, and begin making excuses to yourself why you should have another cup of tea before picking up your pen (I still enjoy writing the first draft of my stories with pen and ink!) and settling down to write, the roar of the waves and tang of saltspray can seem rather a long way off!
Nevertheless, the magical quality of the seashore endures. It's always there. And so is the exhilaration, quietude and inspiration I draw from it. Sea and shore frequently find their way into my stories, and their wild beauty is as much a part of my writing as I am -- Hence the atmospheric picture welcoming you to Bookworms' Corner!
During the coming months, all of my print books will be available in Kindle editions and other formats. The first two to be published as ebooks were The Family by the Shore and Over The Hills. The historical romance and family sagas The Amethyst Necklace and The Dog Star followed during November 2011, and The Faithless Heart, an exciting tale of love, betrayal, danger and adventure set on the Lancashire coast around the turn of the 18th Century, is now available in a Kindle edition. Turn the page to find out more about these ebooks, and my printed novels too.
Thank you for visiting Bookworms' Corner! I hope you'll drop in again very soon. Please do get in touch to tell me what sort of stories you enjoy reading, and about the special books you treasure and return to again and again.
Best wishes,
June
