A BEACON IN THE NIGHT will be published in July.

WINSTON’S WORRY, the sixth in the Caitrin Colline/Secret Churchill Files series has been delivered to my agent.

ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE is the seventh one, and is currently in the research stage. It will be Caitrin’s toughest assignment, when she enters Hitler’s bunker in the last few days of the war on a rescue mission.  Much more to come.

I WANT TO is a different story-telling for me.  It is a contemporary love story, with the usual daft humour and eccentric characters, about a young man who, on foot, is pulling a sailboat across country. Along the way he meets a young woman who wants to make it big in Hollywood. Their ambitions collide and something has to give.

TO FLY is based on the de Havilland aircraft company. The Wright Brothers prove man can fly and young GEOFFREY de HAVILLAND intends to emulate them. A humbling negotiation with his wealthy grandfather gets him just enough money to build an aeroplane — even though he has never actually seen one. LOUISE, his wife, is an intelligent woman in an age when women are either servants or a mute decoration for their husband. She joins Millicent Fawcett’s suffragist movement and her dedication to women’s emancipation puts great strain on their marriage, but she will not give up.

TO FLY is a three volume series.
