The first book in my latest series has just been released. Allow me to take you back to the late 13th century, where Edward I is getting ready to once and for all crush the Welsh princes. With Edward is his loyal captain, Robert FitzStephan. Robert was twelve when he saw his first battle, has accompanied Edward to the Holy Land and back. His loyalty to the king is absolute—until his new wife places him in a position where it is either betraying her or the king. What will Robert do?
She is dragged back through time to a new life, a new and frightening world. And a new man…
Love. Drama. Heartbreaking loss & heady adventure. Welcome to The Graham Saga!
My best-selling series! Winner of the HNS Indie Book of the Year 2015, plus several other awards!
Welcome to 14th century England, to the world of an inept king, a rebellious baron and an adulterous queen. Welcome to the life of Adam de Guirande, an honourable knight torn apart by his loyalties.
Sometimes, I step out of my historical settings. Like in my new WIP which is a dark, edgy romance.
I return to the world of time-travelling. Join Duncan and Erin as they leap through time!

"Please," I tell Ms Inspiration. "We could try to find another solution."![]()
Ms Inspiration shakes her head.![]()
"But I don’t want this to happen!" I wail.![]()
"It has to," she says. She attempts a comforting pat (she is crap at that. Plus, seeing as she doesn’t exist outside my head, it’s a very non-tangoble pat) "You know that. Tampering with real history always comes at a price."![]()
"But it’s not fair," I try.![]()
Ms Inspiration’s brows rise. "At your age, surely you know life is never fair."![]()
True, that. But still. I cross my arms over my chest. "I might go on strike," I warn her.![]()
"No you won’t. After all, there are other characters you owe some sort of conclusion."![]()
Gah! She is right, of course. But I haven’t given up quite yet. Maybe if I tweak the plot a bit there, and . . .![]()
"Ouch!" I glare at Ms Inspiration. Why is it I can’t feel her pats but whenever she lashes out with that riding crop of hers it smarts?![]()
"Be true to teh story," she says. "Or else . . ." She shakes her crop.![]()
So maybe I will go on strike. At least for a while . . .
