I cannot believe I am finally typing this, but…my world is starting to open up again! Here in the UK, May 17th is the date when we can finally start to see friends and family inside again. I never thought I would be so excited about sitting down in someone’s house that wasn’t my own!

It’s been a hard year. Although I have probably written more words in the last twelve months than any other twelve month period, it’s been really isolating and sad. I haven’t seen my parents that much, my beautiful goddaughters are growing up so fast…

It’s easy to focus on the negatives when things are challenging. It’s why I have been looking for the positives even if there aren’t that many, and being able to see friends again is a huge plus.

It’s been a stressful year, but we’re almost out of it – but it doesn’t mean that it’s the same for everyone.

I know that many of my incredible readers are still having very difficult years, and it’s not near the end yet. I want my readers to know that as things open up for me, I’ll still be writing awesome historical romances that I’ll make as reasonably priced as possible.

If you’re having a tough time, please let me know. I’d be happy to ping you an audiobook as a gift, to bring a little sunshine into your life.
