My first ever audiobook has been released!

Escape To The Country is now available as a paperback, ebook and through audible.

Here’s the blurb –

Leah is accused of a crime she didn’t commit. Dumped by Adam, the man she planned to marry, she escapes to Aunt Jayne’s smallholding in the Kent village of Winkleigh Marsh. Heartbroken and homeless, she strives to clear her name and deal with her emotions.

Jayne treats Leah’s unhappiness with herbal remedies, cowslip wine and common sense in equal measure. In return Leah works hard for the delicious home-cooked meals they share. She wrestles with sheep, breaks nails and gets stuck in the mud – learning as much about herself as she does about farming. Soon Leah is happy milking cows, mucking out pigs and falling halfway in love with Duncan, a dishy tractor driver.

Back in London, steps are being taken to investigate what’s happened to the missing money. It looks as though the real embezzler must soon be unmasked and Leah will have to choose between resuming her old life or starting a new one.

That’s when her problems really start.

Are you on Instagram? A friend persuaded me to try it. So far I’m not really sure what I’m doing, but it does seem like a good place to share photos of my garden, my travels, and perhaps even the locations and inspiration for some of my books.
My nickname there is Patsythetravellingwriter and if you’d like to follow me you can do that here. Here are some examples of the kind of thing I’m sharing…
