To Say Thank You...A free read...

To say thank you to the lovely people who have been so kind as to purchase my books and send me so many kind emails recently about “Queen Victoria’s Granddaughters” and other books,  I would like very much to give you a free copy of another of my books ‘The Counting House’. The book will be free on Kindles throughout the world on Wednesday 13th March and, although it is very different from my historical fiction and biographies, I hope you will enjoy it!


“When seven-year-old Georgie, desperate to win the attention of her hero, James, steals a candlestick from a cemetery lodge, she believes that the devil has seen her and will follow her home. Her conviction is heightened that evening when tragedy strikes the family. Guilt-ridden, Georgie sets out on a quest to become a saint, in the hope that God will grant her a miracle. Her sincere but often bizarre efforts lead her through various escapades from a remote Yorkshire farmhouse to being lost in London, when she is accosted by a sinister stranger. The arrival of a distant relative throws her world into greater confusion as she comes to understand the nature of good, evil and accident. The story is populated by a variety of eccentric characters; feisty ex-suffragette, Great Aunt Lucy; the pious but increasingly senile Great Aunt Philomena; beautiful French Aunt Marie and her huge explorer husband; the cruel teacher, Miss Keppel; and the contrasting personalities of Georgie and her friends and siblings."
