I've been sworn to secrecy for weeks, but I can now reveal that my debut novel, Secret of Heathcote Manor, will be published by Level Best Books in December 2023.
A ghost, a rose and a few lines of poetry launch a boy on a quest to uncover a mysterious family secret. When he discovers more than he bargained for, he faces a dilemma. Quit while he is ahead or risk everything, including his life, to mend his mother's broken heart. His decision will alter the course of history and lead to the creation of the most famous nursery rhyme ever written.
My thanks go to my agent, Cindy Bullard, at Birch Literary for brokering the deal and to Shawn Reilly Simmons at Level Best Books for acquiring the rights.
