In February 2022, One More Chapter, at Harper Collins published my debut novel, The Keeper of Stories.
I am delighted to say that it is now a Sunday Times Bestseller. I am currently working on a new novel which will be published by Harper Fiction in Autumn 2023.
There are more details below about my book, including some book club questions.

‘The Keeper of Stories is absolutely spellbinding. Each individual story is perfectly crafted, giving a warm-hearted, thoughtful, funny and yet deeply poignant result.

Book Club Questions
Everyone has a story to tell is one of the main themes of the book. Do you believe this? And what would your story be?
Were there any stories in the book that particularly stayed with you, and why do you think that was?
It still amazes her how much he swears. For a fox terrier. What do you think Decius’s role is in the book?
I figured out long ago, if I listen to the few people who shout at me, I am making them more important than they are. Do you think Euan is right to listen to the quiet voices?
What do you think it was that drew Mrs B and Janice together?
