Isn’t it absolutely gorgeous? I am so, so in love with it, and so grateful to illustrator and designer Rachel Lawston and my editor, Francesca Best, for their hard work in creating something so utterly magical.

Kindred Spirits at Harling Hall is the first in my new Ghosts of Rowan Vale series. These books are cosy, contemporary romances, with some ghostly goings-on! They’re set in the stunning Cotswolds village of Rowan Vale, where there’s a living history village, some neolithic stones and barrow, some gorgeous romances, and a lot of rather needy ghosts! I’m already working on the second in the series, and I’m having so much fun writing these books.

Here’s the blurb for Kindred Spirits at Harling Hall.

The first in a delightfully warm, cosy and romantic new series with a fantasy twist, for fans of the BBC series 'Ghosts'.

Can Callie give some needy ghosts their happy-ever-afterlife, while making Rowan Vale her own forever home?

When cash-strapped single mum Callie visits the beautiful Cotswold village of Rowan Vale on a school trip with her daughter, she is enchanted. It's run as a living museum, with a steam railway, vintage teashop, Elizabethan manor house and old water mill allowing tourists to see history in action.

But there's more to Rowan Vale than meets the eye...

To Callie's surprise, the owner of the village, elderly Sir Lawrence Davenport, requests a meeting with her. It appears Callie has been observed talking to several villagers she shouldn’t be able to see - as they’re ghosts.

Sir Lawrence then makes an astonishing offer: to sell Callie the whole estate for a tiny sum, if she agrees to protect the village’s present tenants and make sure the headstrong ghosts are represented too.

With a spectral lord of the manor and his imperious wife, a naughty 1940s schoolgirl and the man who once taught William Shakespeare among them, it seems Callie’s role as owner wouldn’t be easy.

And that’s without the added complication of Lawrie’s disinherited grandson, the gorgeous Brodie.

Rowan Vale and Callie may need each other. But is this a match made in heaven or hell?

Fans of the BBC's Ghosts, or books by Lucy Jane Wood, Laurie Gilmore and Heidi Swain will love this heart-warming and magical novel.

Kindred Spirits at Harling Hall is available to pre-order now, and will be published on March 28th - coincidentally the tenth anniversary of my very first published book, There Must Be an Angel. The second in the series will be out in the summer.

I’m really loving my ghostly adventures in the Cotswolds, and I hope you will too.

Have a great week!
