Life's Too Short To Frost A Cupcake: I wrote this book under the pen-name of Rosie Wilde, It's an exuberant comedy with a likeable heroine who moves from London to a small town in rural Ohio. Readers ask me all the time if the book is autobiographical. The answer to that is...more than a little!
Dearest Rivals: I had long wanted to set a novel in Marlow and Dearest Rivals, a story of three siblings and an inheritance, was the perfect opportunity.
Wives and Lovers: With “Wives and Lovers’ I wanted to write a novel about modern-day relationships and to focus on themes such as the pressures on working wives and mothers, the loss of early dreams, the fading of passion and the survival of love within a long-established marriage.
But I definitely didn’t want to write a book that dealt in ‘issues’!
I think my principal task as a writer is to entertain my readers and that in turn demands a strong storyline and characters with whom the reader can identify.
And I am very happy to have written a romantic novel – I think love stories are the very best stories of all!

Husbands and Other Lovers:
It is a novel that deals with timeless choices and changing fortunes. I wanted to look below the surface of an apparently idyllic lifestyle to discover the reality below – to examine the choices and compromises women make to stay married. Or to get married.
All the characters are asked to change – some manage this better than others. I hope that my characters are flawed but still sympathetic, that we can understand their struggles... and perhaps identify with their mistakes!
The Truth About Love: This is a story of one house, two secrets and three women.
Although the novel is set in the present day, the house holds a secret from the past. I have loved the historical research for this book. And I have returned to Wimbledon Village where Wives and Lovers is set.
