Here is the cover for my new book, Short Stack. Isn’t it beautiful?

It was designed by the wonderful Natasha Snow. I can’t imagine my books without her covers. We’ve been working together for quite a few years now and each cover that she does is automatically my favourite. That is until I see the next one!

This book is a collection of my short stories about the men from my Mixed Messages and Finding Home series. Follow them through awkward marriage proposals, birthdays, a fraught babysitting job, and a very drunken Eurovision Song Contest party.

It includes stories previously written for my website and readers’ group, along with deleted scenes and four brand new and exclusive short stories – Bad Valentine, Marrying Jude, Babysitting Billy, and House Hunting.

It will be released on October 2^nd.
