My feet and the ground have been strangers to each other today as I’ve charged around the internet publicising The Emerald Comb. I’ve been featured on a few blogs already, with more to come later in the week, and another blog tour organised for late October. It’s lovely to see a few 5-star reviews already being posted! (Though Becca’s 5-cupcake review is the tastiest so far.)

I’m putting links to all Emerald Comb related blogs, interviews and reviews up on the Emerald Comb page at the top of the blog, so keep an eye on that for the latest!

Later this week I’ll post here about how I went from researching my own family tree to writing a genealogy-inspired novel…

I’m delighted to present the cover for my forthcoming timeslip novel, The Emerald Comb. This is to be published as an ebook by Carina UK on 22nd September. Eek, that’s about three weeks away!

Gorgeous pict9781474007504_Cover_The Emerald Combure, isn’t it?  And here’s the blurb for the book:

One afternoon, Katie takes a drive to visit Kingsley House, the family home of her ancestors, the St Clairs. She falls in love the minute she sees it. It may be old and in desperate need of modernisation, but it is her link to the past and, having researched her family tree extensively, she feels a sense of belonging to the crumbling old estate.

When it suddenly comes up for sale, she cannot resist persuading her family to sell up and buy it, never telling them the truth of their connection with it. But soon the past collides with the present, as the house begins to reveal the secrets it has hidden for generations. Does Katie really want to discover what she has come from?

I can’t wait for this to be published – my first full-length novel. It’s all becoming very exciting as the publication date draws near!
