Those Hamilton Sisters

I’ve been keeping a secret for a while...a most wondrous, long-dreamed-of achievement that I’ve been bursting to share it with you all!

On behalf of five year old Averil — who set ‘becoming an author’ as her loftiest life goal and determined she would work towards it ever after — it is with ebullient joy I can announce that my debut novel, Those Hamilton Sisters, is being published by Echo Publishing Australia in April 2021…

“A warm, captivating and irresistible story of love, family, secrets and finding your place in the world. For readers of Lucinda Riley and Kate Morton.”

(Just in time for our upcoming Mother’s Day!)

I have imbued my first novel with everything I love. It is just the kind of book I search bookstores and libraries for. I dearly hope you’ll laugh, swoon and cry right along with the Hamilton Sisters — as I did when writing my three spirited, red haired heroines into existence. I am so excited for you to meet Sonnet, Fable and Novella Plum.

Excitement sustained me all the way through 2020…

In April 2020, right in the middle of lockdowns & toilet paper shortages & dreaded homeschooling...I signed a two book deal with my amazing publisher, @echo_publishing & @bonnierbooks_UK It was the ultimate rainbow in a tempestuous year!

And how about that stunning cover….

Lush & evocative, just like the verdant tropics in which my historical fiction novel is set.

This is my own Advance Reader Copy, the first time I held my story as a *real* book! — but if you are a #bookstagrammer or book blogger, keen to see a copy of my novel for review purposes, you can contact my fab publicist at publicity@echopublishing.com.au for more info.
