My debut novel, Sugar and Snails, was published internationally in paperback and e-book 23 July, 2015, by Inspired Quill.

You can follow its journey to publication and beyond via
the blog.

Listen to an eclectic
musical accompaniment (see also
The Undercover Soundtrack) or browse my pinterest board showing some of the places depicted in the novel.

Watch the videos of the launch party with an introduction to Inspired Quill from Sara Slack and a reading of the first chapter.

Read what some of the early readers have had to say about it and follow the lovely reviews.
