A joy to set a book in one of my favourite cities... #Dubrovnik . So if you'd like a virtual trip there too, check out The Collaborator's Daughter, my dual timeline romance: #99p #NewBeginnings #WW2 @Croatia_hr

In the GOOD NEWS - BAD NEWS department: My publisher just MOVED MY PUB DATE UP from March 21 to March 7 - leaving me with lots of scrambling on my prep for launch/marketing activities, galley edits, etc. Nerve-wracking .... but FUN. Watch this space for info on pre-orders!!
