On the Edge of Uncertainty.

“She was like a walking university dressed up in a stylish package. Florrie could see herself being offered a peep into the sweetshop of intellectual pursuits that London represented, through Diana’s patronage.”

From On the Edge of Uncertainty. Out 1st December.

"Almost without thought, Florrie tugged at the soft material, and the towel fell away, revealing Diana’s glistening skin. She shrieked, laughing, then jumped on Florrie’s upright deckchair."

They are trying to silence us, but we keep writing. Our history won’t be erased, our lives won’t be forgotten, our love will not be stopped.

#LesFicFri *Tempt*

From On the Edge of Uncertainty, Out 1st Dec 2025

“It was so tempting to stroke her cheek, feel the smoothness of her body against hers, but she stayed her hand. She felt the warmth of Diana’s breath mingling with her own…intoxicating. And dangerous.”

#LesFicFri *Hurt*

“Her fingers caught the card in her pocket. She was tempted to take it out to stare at the embossed letters and stroke the thick paper that had been in Diana’s hands. Did she want to rake up all that hurt and anguish?”

“The flash went off with a puff of smoke. Whichever photograph they used, it was this moment, this expression that Florrie would remember and treasure for ever.”

"They had always been so careful, not sharing long glances or secret smiles. The hairs on the back of her neck rose. If he knew, then she would be exposed—they both would."
