I'm delighted to say that my third gritty family saga novel - Pearl of Pit Lane - published by Headline is now available in paperback, as well as hardback, audiobook and ebook.
Soaps queen Sharon Marshall from ITV's This Morning said my books were Amazing Novels - and that's a compliment I'll dine out on for years.
So, what's Pearl of Pit Lane about?
When her mother dies in childbirth, Pearl Edwards is left in the care of her aunt, Annie Grafton. Annie loves Pearl like her own daughter but it isn't easy to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. Annie knows the best way to supplement their meagre income is to walk the pit lane at night, looking for men willing to pay for her company.
As Pearl grows older she is unable to remain ignorant of Annie's profession, despite her aunt's attempts to shield her. But when Pearl finds herself unexpectedly without work and their landlord raises the rent, it becomes clear they have few choices left and Annie is forced to ask Pearl the unthinkable.
Rather than submit to life on the pit lane, Pearl runs away. She has nothing and nowhere to go, but Pearl is determined to survive on her own terms. However, it doesn't go as smoothly as Pearl hopes. Meanwhile, a sinister figure stalks the back lanes.
As in my debut novel BELLE OF THE BACK STREETS and my second novel THE TUPPENNY CHILD there's another feisty heroine at the core of my new book and it's available here.
