I'm going to use this space to try to keep up to date with what I'm actually writing and what might be appearing soon.

Freya's Bower have just accepted 'The Price of Gold' which is a romantic fantasy about a deeply unpleasant gold trader in the city of London who is redeemed by the intervention of a Norse goddess -- but not before he's been embarrassed, humiliated and thoroughly confused.   By the end he's found himself, and he's found love -- a wiser and happier man.

At the moment, I'm working on a rather wild m/f story of out-of-control sex in France, and an account of sexual concealment and love between men in Victorian England.

Also, a number of novels have been completed and are getting their final edits from me before being sent out.

'The English Maid' is a historical adventure, set in the 1840s in New York, the West Indies and London.

'New York in the 1840s is a pretty exciting place, but the Earl of Atherstone is bored. When his society hostess mistress refuses to run away with him, he packs up his house and sails for Jamaica, intending to stay there for a while before returning to England. He doesn’t realise that, among his strangely assorted crew, is Laurie, a street urchin who’s been helping in the house. And when Laurie is revealed as being very definitely female, his long dormant sense of chivalry is awoken – temporarily. When Laurie is kidnapped by pirates, he goes after her, laying himself open to a fate worse than death at the hands of the mad Captain Bernardo. And when Laurie and the Earl are shipwrecked, something blossoms between them. But is it love, or lust? Atherstone becomes more conscious of his arrogant and selfish ways as his obsession with this woman grows, and he pursues her back to England, and through inns, theatres, and finally a brothel. Now, he needs her help to travel to France to rescue his brother, imprisoned by the evil Chevalier de Jugon. There, he discovers just how brave she is, and what his selfishness has done to her. But when he discovers one more secret about her, will he still want her? Back in England, the story comes to a rousing end in a welter of  kidnapping, forced marriage and murder.'

'The Rose of the Winds' is a darker tale of love and lust and greed which begins in the centre of the Golden Triangle, that area which borders Thailand, Cambodia and Laos, and is the lawless source of many of the world's drugs.

'Rose of the Winds is the story of a journalist, Tim Hinton, who is kidnapped in Indo-China and held by a drug-lord, San Song.   He is protected by Lily Rousseau, an enigmatic French/Vietnamese, with whom he falls helplessly in love.   But after she allows him to escape, he discovers she is not what she seems.  Hinton is determined to find Lily again, and his quest takes him to rural Somerset, to fashionable Covent Garden, to Paris and to a chateau in Brittany.   Lily is reluctant to confront her feelings about him, and full of guilt about the pleasure she takes from the perverted attentions of the evil San Song.  The story reaches a shattering and violent climax when the two men finally meet to do battle over their mutual obsession.'
