I’m lucky enough to live in a small market
town in southwest England that allows me access to some of the most historical
places in the world. Just a short half an hour drive in one direction brings me
into the centre of the famous Georgian city of Bath––an hour’s drive in any
other direction brings me into Salisbury or the Cotswolds and beyond.
So it’s hardly surprising I moved from
writing contemporary romance novels only to also writing historical romances and,
now, sagas.
I have four Victorian novels published with
eKensington as well as recently signing a four book deal with Aria Fiction for
a brand-new Edwardian series set in Bath’s finest department store.
Having so much history on my doorstep fuels
my imagination to write about the many places I have access too––and over many
eras. Once I’d fulfilled my contract with eKensington, I was keen to fast
forward a few years to the Edwardian period and the Pennington’s Department
Store series was born.
Book 1, The Mistress of Pennington’s
release in July with book 2 following in January 2019.
Here’s the blurb and preorder buy links for
The Mistress of Pennington’s:
1910 – A compelling tale of female empowerment in Bath's leading
department store. Perfect for the fans of the TV series Mr Selfridge and The
Paradise.
Elizabeth Pennington should be the rightful heir of Bath's
premier department store through her enterprising schemes and dogged hard work.
Her father, Edward Pennington, believes his daughter lacks the business acumen
to run his empire and is resolute a man will succeed him.
Determined to break from her father's iron-clad hold and prove
she is worthy of inheriting the store, Elizabeth forms an unlikely alliance
with ambitious and charismatic master glove-maker Joseph Carter. United they
forge forward to bring Pennington's into a new decade, embracing woman's
equality and progression whilst trying not to mix business and pleasure.
Can this
dream team thwart Edward Pennington's plans for the store? Or will Edward prove
himself an unshakeable force who will ultimately ruin both Elizabeth and
Joseph?
