Hello!
I live in Wales with my husband, my two teenage daughters, a giant labrador and a gang of unruly cats.
When I am not working or writing, I can be found listening to audiobooks in a muddy field with my dog or sat outside my local pub in the sunshine enjoying a glass of wine.
Last year I wrote a book.
Instructions For Falling In Love Again.
What would you do if your late husband left you a list of instructions on how to fall in love with someone else?
Pippa Browning is faced with this exact dilemma, three years after the death of her husband, Dan.Buried at the bottom of a drawer are a collection of notebooks full of Dan’s advice on how to live without him.
Pippa’s notebook is red and contains his instructions on how to fall in love again.
But Dan doesn’t just want Pippa to fall in love with anyone – Dan’s crazy suggestion is that Pippa should date his handsome friend, Mikey Stenton, a known thrill-seeking ladies’ man.
Reluctant to follow Dan’s advice, Pippa enters the world of dating. She embarks on a humorous journey of self-discovery, with the help of her children and two best friends.
It isn’t long before Pippa is finding it hard to ignore Dan’s instructions and Mikey Stenton.
Is Mikey really the man that everyone thinks him to be? Or was Dan right, and Mikey’s simply been misunderstood?
An uplifting and heart-warming story about bereavement, friendship and finding love, the second time around.

This is so true! I know that songwriters often write a song and then see what the title presents itself to be, so I guess it makes sense with books too. I didn’t have a title for my book for a while, but I heard a song on the radio and it just fitted with my story. I must admit, I imagined that my book had been made into a film (we all do it!) and this song in particular felt like the end credits song, so I was lucky that I ended up with a name, but that took ages to happen.
Haha, that comment was supposed to be left on your latest blog post! I haven’t been on this blog since July 2016, I’ve clearly forgotten how to function!

Hi Lucy. Tried to find an email id or something so wouldn’t have to bother you here. Couldn’t really trace one.
So I’m forwarding the link to my ebook here.
Truth be told it didn’t really start out as an actual book. They were a series of blog posts in response to an A-Z Blog Challenge. So the 26 chapters all revolve around a typical middle class Indian family as they go about their daily lives. The characters and situations depicted are Indian stereotypes presented in a hilarious style. I would really appreciate comments and suggestions or even a full fledged review. I would be honored actually. The name of the book is “The Adventures of the JP Family” and here’s the link.
