The Staycation is published today

It’s finally February! Hurrah! January seemed to last for about eighteen years, but now it’s over and we’re a few steps closer to warm sun and spring and all those joyful things.

It also means my standalone romcom, The Staycation, is out in the world in ebook and sunshine yellow paperback.

I wrote this book as a treat to myself during lockdown, when we were restricted to our local neighbourhoods and even the Norfolk coast seemed a very long way away. I filled it with everything I love in a romcom book, aiming for fully escapist, indulgent romance. Here is the blurb:

Travel agent, Hester Monday, has been keeping a secret …

Thanks to her fear of flying, she hasn’t been on a plane in years. Now Hester wants to make a good impression on her newest client, Jake Oakenfield, who was heroically injured saving an old lady, and is now laid up in a luxury hotel.

For Jake, unable to return to New York, binge watching Netflix just won’t do. He wants Hester to invent the ultimate escape and re-create her most magical holidays abroad from the confines of his hotel room.

As their perfect mini-breaks around the globe take on a life of their own, Hester wonders if her world of make-believe is all starting to feel just a little too real…

If you read it, I really hope you enjoy it. I’d love to know what you think, and as always, reviews on Amazon are so helpful as they help to increase a book and an author’s visibility, and get them in front of more readers.

Hester and Jake are two of my favourite characters, and I really hope you enjoy spending time with them as much as I did when I was writing it.

Love,
