Hi Kathleen, I just finished your novel, The Pearl Locket. I loved it!!!! What a wonderful read. I am in Reno Nevada reading from google books. So I now going to read, The Emerald Comb. Just wanted to say hi and thank you!! Sue
Thanks Sue! I’m so glad you enjoyed that book and hope you like my others as well. Thanks for stopping by to let me know!
Hi! Nice to meet you, and looking forward to hearing more about you, via your new blog.
Just come over to say hello and I like the look of your new website. Beautiful seascape picture at the top – did you take it?
Yes, Bridget, just snapped it with my phone-camera the other day, thinking I’d like a sea-scape at the top of the blog. At the time I thought I must come down to the beach with a proper camera, but actually I rather like this photo anyway!
Hi Kath
This looks really interesting and I love the photo. Will love hearing how you are doing even more x

E .can i get a copy of daughters of red hill paper back pleased
Hi Bernie, I am afraid it is only available as an ebook at the moment. I will announce on my blog if my publisher decides to bring it out as a paperback.
Thank you Kathleen gosh it would be great if I could get a paperback as I don’t like e books and prefer to hold a book
Bernie I would LOVE it if my publisher decided to put my books out as paperbacks – but it is up to them, and it all depends on whether the books sell well enough as ebooks to warrant going into paperback.
You are a fabulous writer & all great reads. Thanks.
Thank you Alice!
Great to see another book comming out i love reading your books very much keep writting its good to see that people have talent in writting such great reads
Thank you Sue! I will certainly keep writing. I love doing it.
I’ve just read The Girl from Ballymor, and absolutely loved it! I’d love to read your earlier novels, but don’t use ebooks, so will they be published in paperback (or hardback, either really) at any point? I’ve read the plots, and they all sound like exactly the type of story I love. Please print them so I can read them.
Hi Scarlett and thanks for your comment. So glad you enjoyed The Girl from Ballymor! I’m afraid whether or not the earlier books are published in paperback is out of my hands – it’s up to my publisher. I’d certainly love to see them in print, though.
If you don’t have an ereader of any kind bear in mind you can download a free Kindle app to use on a smartphone, computer or tablet/iPad etc. But I know this isn’t for everyone. Anyway I’m hoping my next book will be in paperback sometime next summer.
Thanks so much for your reply. I’ll definitely be buying your new book next year, I’m looking forward to it!

Have read several of your books and really enjoyed them. I just got Drowned Village on my kindle and began reading it. Why have you put bad language in this book? I can barely get through the first chapter. The âfâ word ruins it. Unnecessary.
Hi Perrie, thanks for buying my books. Yes, there is a bit of swearing in chapter 1 – just in that flashback that shows how Laura split up with Stuart. I included it because it was natural – in that situation I think most people would swear, so to my mind it was necessary for the story. There is very little swearing in the rest of the book – just in one other scene if I remember correctly. Sorry that it’s put you off.
It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d definitely
