Light the blue touch paper and stand well back

I’m really thrilled to be able to share Harper’s Highland Fling with you. Within a day of publication it reached #1 spot in ‘hot new releases’ and #1 in Scottish Historical Romance – happy days. Many thanks to my many readerds and followers who stepped up to the plate and helped it on its way.

It’s been a tough time for all of us with the pandemic so it was a blessed relief to be able to lose myself in my novel and join Harper and Rocco on their road trip as they set out to track down Pen and Ariel and bring them home. This is my sixth novel and I hope, by the time you reach the end of this post, you’ll be tempted to download it.

Here’s the BLURB

After a gruelling academic year, head teacher Harper MacDonald is looking forward to a summer holiday trekking in Nepal.
However, her plans are scuppered when wayward niece, Ariel, leaves a note announcing that she’s running away with a boy called Pen. The only clue to their whereabouts is a footnote: I’ll be in Scotland.
Cue a case of mistaken identity when Harper confronts the boy’s father, Rocco Penhaligon, accusing him of cradle snatching her niece and ruining her future. At loggerheads, Harper and Rocco form an unlikely alliance and set off in hot pursuit of the teenagers in a madcap road trip which takes them from Cornwall to Scotland. The canny youngsters, however, are always one step ahead – and, in a neat twist, it is the adults who end up in trouble, not the savvy teenagers.

Fasten your seatbelt for the road trip of your life! It’s going to be a bumpy ride!

I DON’T WANT TO GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY BUT A CLASSIC LANDROVER AND MOTOR CYCLE FEATURE AS CHARACTERS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT IN MY NOVEL

I wanted to incorporate the notion of a road trip featuring the uptight head of a federation of failing primary schools, a bohemian garage owner with a tragic past and a couple of teenagers who couldn’t understand why going AWOL might upset their responsible adults. Sound familiar? I take them on a road trip from the toe of Cornwall to Plockton in the beautiful west highlands of Scotland – stopping off at Bristol, Leicester (where else?), Penrith, and Gretna Green. I’ve travelled that route many times so I was able to get out all my old photos and have my own private road trip. As for the uptight headmistress – I wonder who she was based on ?
