I write to escape from the here and now. This was especially true during Covid when I hid away in my study and travelled every day to the mythical, magical west coast of Scotland in my imagination. The result was Dark Highland Skies which was published on Valentine’s Day 2023 and been well-received by readers and followers. (See blurb and extract below)

About Lizzie Lamb

I write contemporary women's fiction mostly based in Scotland with hot heroes, feisty heroines and always a happy ending. Along with three other authors - Adrienne Vaughan, June Kearns and Margaret Cullingford - I formed the New Romantics Press under which our books are published. I have published seven novels since 2012, the latest being Dark Highland Skies. I am currently working on #8 which I hope to publish in 2024.

    Really enjoyed reading Lizzie’s words and why she writes about Scotland and about Romance. Luckily enough I know Lizzie personally and I love her bubbly personality and warm heart and sense of humour. I also love reading her books and she manages to transport me to the place of action every time through her great description of the places and the brilliant characterisations of her key players. To see the photos from her travels which inspired the various places in her novels are an added bonus. Thank you Lizzie, most enjoyable.
