good news, Mr Cavell's Diamond, translation

Today is publication day for the Portuguese translation of my first novel, Mr Cavell’s Diamond, by Brazilian publisher Leabhar Books. I’m really excited to see how this one does – the publisher tells me there’s a real demand for Regency novels in Brazil!

Here’s the cover they made for it. It’s not quite Worthing but I love the mysterious house by the sea.Cover

You can buy the novel here in Portuguese, or here in English!

covers, Mr Cavell's Diamond

It’s hard to believe but it is almost four years since I published my first novel -Mr Cavell’s Diamond. This one was self-published, and my lovely son made me a cover for it.

Time’s moved on, and I felt the cover didn’t really fit the contents of the novel and also didn’t look right alongside my other novels, published by HQ. So, I commissioned a cover designer (Berni Stevens) to make me a new cover, and I’m delighted to be able to share that with you today! Here is is. The Regency house, the girl, the sea in the background – all just spot on for the story, and I love the vibrant colours.

The novel may have been out a while, but it’s still one I’m very proud of. Unlike my other novels it’s not dual timeline but it is historical, and there’s a genealogical twist (revealed when you get to the author’s note at the end).

You can buy the ebook from Amazon UK, Amazon US, or any other Amazon.
