My Books
All of my books are available as paperbacks, eBooks and on Kindle Unlimited. The Summer We've Had, Love You However, A Different Kind Of Pride and Beyond Rainbow's End are all part of the chocolate-box Cornwall-based Bound By The Rainbow series, while scorching Italian novel The Rainbow Lens sits as a standalone. What ties them together are the Sapphic themes, the destruction of boundaries when it comes to the topics at their heart, and the overarching theme of love.
Beyond Rainbow's End
After a fun-packed few years (including getting evicted, changing jobs and her mum coming out as bi), Saskia Saltmarshe is embarking on a six-week work trip to Cornwall. The bitter, aloof journalist isn’t there to make friends, but then she meets Kivi Chadwick…
​
Kivi owns Sandy Dunes, the guest house at which Saskia is based, and sparks fly between them from the get-go. But surely love is off the table? Kivi’s last relationship tanked after a prolonged battle to secure her fortune, smashing her heart to pieces, and Saskia is… well, straight. And hiding two very big secrets of her own.
​
Tasked with arranging a wedding for her friends Cass and Felicia, what Kivi soon discovers is that Saskia is an ice-queen in every sense of the term: colder than an Arctic winter… and easily shattered. But will love finally put them both together for good? In a place so beautiful that it should, by all rights, be beyond rainbow’s end?
The Rainbow Lens
It’s not exactly every day that you text your ex of nearly thirty years, inviting her on an all-expenses-paid, all-inclusive holiday in the Italian Lakes, is it?
​
And yet, despite every scrap of common sense telling her it’s a ridiculous idea destined for the scrapheap, that is what Lydia Sawyer does.
She and Gillian haven’t spoken since their post-university breakup, but Lydia has never completely gotten over her. All through her life – through marriage, raising twins, running a gymnasium and then divorce – Gillian Gascoyne has held a special (and very much secret) place in her heart.
And the same can be said for Gilly. Divorced herself and reeling from the passing of her young daughter Eliza, she is just accepting that she may never find love again when Lydia’s message comes through. Ten days in luxurious Italian sun seems like the perfect tonic. Even if it comes at the price of being faced with Lydia again, bringing back all the love and swirling emotion she’s never quite managed to shed.
When the two women finally meet, sparks fly and everything comes to a head in a rollercoaster ride of renewal. But there’s a problem. Lydia’s children are virulently homophobic. When faced with a choice between Sapphic love and a relationship with her children… will Lydia have the strength to face her deepest fears?
A Different Kind Of Pride
Victoria Berry is known in the Cornish village of Miltree for being cold. As headteacher of the local primary school, she conducts her career with the same iron fist with which she controls the rest of her life. She’s perfectly content how she is: single, stony and intimidating. But what she doesn’t realise is that this can’t last forever.
Anastasia Savchenko is not known in the village of Miltree at all. She’s only been there for a year, having left her nursing career post-burnout in order to take over the village florist. Her head full of the business of flowers, she hasn’t even had time to make friends. And even if she had, the least likely person would be her next-door-neighbour, Scary Miss Berry.
A catastrophic car accident forces Anastasia and Victoria together, and before they know it, their relationship goes from complete strangers to carer and charge. But what they don’t realise is that as Victoria recovers, their relationship may run deeper than either of them bargained for…
Love You However
'Jean Taylor is a woman.'
This is a statement that I have always tolerated about myself. Except now… it seems to be getting harder.
My gender has never felt right, but I’ve been able to overlook it. I’ve always been okay with being Jean: retail worker, choir leader and wife of Petra. Our idyllic little life in Cornwall has given me the stability I’ve needed ever since my sister died, and everything’s been ticking along just fine.
Up until now.
A blast of menopause hormones has brought my gender to the front of my mind. When Petra is suddenly hurled into the role of ‘headteacher’ at work, it becomes harder and harder to share it with her. With work taking over her life and gender taking over mine, how can we keep our marriage alive?
And can I realise my true identity before it’s too late?
After a nightmare couple of years following the death of her celebrity singer mother, Cass Mulligan is moving down to the sun, sea and shingle of Cornwall for a fresh start. But she soon realises that she’s not the only one in need of some TLC…
​
Felicia Wilson’s life is one long series of spinning plates. She has Dissociative Identity Disorder, a system of five alternate personalities living in her body, and they all have different hopes, fears and desires.
​
When Cass is thrown together with Felicia, some beautiful friendships grow, and soon there is substantial mutual attraction between Cass and dominant alter Heather. But if things go wrong, they could go very wrong. Can they build a relationship AND keep everybody happy?
