The Brightwater Sisters trilogy
I am delighted to announce a forthcoming new historical trilogy, The Brightwater Sisters, which has been acquired by Quercus Books, who published my first five novels.
The Brightwater Sisters opens in the mid-nineteenth century, in the affluent Cotswold town of Fleetstrode where the happy lives of three sisters, Amelia-Jane, Marigold and Grace, are thrown into turmoil after their father falls ill and it’s up to the sisters to save the financial fortunes of their family. On the look-out for either suitable husbands or occupation, each of them embarks on their own beautifully written and heartwarming adventure, which will take them far from home, to unexpected corners of Europe.
The first novel in The Brightwater Sisters series will be published in summer 2027. For US and translation rights please contact Emma Thawley at emma.thawley@quercusbooks.co.uk

The Golden Feather
I am very excited to announce a limited print-run, special edition of The Golden Feather, a fairytale for adults.
The Golden Feather is the story of Saul Bonnytop, an old man with no money and a secret dream: to enter the mighty Emperor’s storytelling competition. The contest is utterly out of reach for someone like Saul – until the arrival of a mysterious golden feather. Despite impossible odds and an unexpected enemy, Saul, together with his family and an unlikely assortment of new friends, embarks on an adventure that just might be the most remarkable story of all.
The Golden Feather will be published in summer 2026. For US and translation rights please contact Tracy Rees at tracyreesbooks@gmail.com
