I couldn’t let Yorkshire Day go by without showcasing some fantastic books that utilise the varied and stunning landscape of the White Rose County.

Choosing character and place names for my books isn't as easy as you'd imagine.

It’s publication day for Destiny of the Witch - the sixth and final book in my Witches of Castle Clair series.
