Summer News, Special Offers, and a Christmas Surprise in July!

Don’t you just love meeting old friends – and making new ones too?
The writing life is often a solitary one, so whenever I get the chance to attend a book event, I grab it with both hands. One of the highlights of my year is always the SPS Live Show — a brilliant two-day conference held each summer on London’s South Bank. It’s where independent authors gather to learn about the latest publishing trends, share inspiration, and connect with fellow creatives.
This year, the sun shone (for once!), the panels were inspiring, and I met some truly lovely people. I came away energised, full of ideas — and finally took the plunge on something I’ve been meaning to do for ages…
📚 Ebooks Now Available in My Shop!
I’m delighted to share that all of my ebooks are now available to buy directly from my online bookshop!
Until now, the store has offered paperbacks, special editions, and book bundles, but now you can instantly download digital editions of every title, safely and securely, straight from me.
To celebrate, I’m offering several of my most popular ebooks for just $0.99 for a limited time:
-
💔 To Melt a Frozen Heart – an emotional enemies-to-lovers romance set in Lapland
-
🕵️ The Red King of Helsinki – a gripping Cold War spy thriller set in 1970s Finland
-
☕ Coffee and Vodka – a moving Nordic family drama about immigration and identity
You’ll also find box sets and series collections — perfect for binge-reading!
These same ebooks are priced at $2.99/£2.99 on Amazon and will soon be available on Kobo, Apple Books, Google Books, and Barnes & Noble. But buying direct means you get a great deal — and you’re supporting indie publishing at the same time.
