I’m Dreaming of a New York Christmas
My upcoming festive rom-com publishes in August 2026 and follows a British speechwriter and a New York cartoonist whose paths cross against all odds in a Greenwich Village coffee shop. You can pre-order it here.
Will a New York Christmas lead to all she never knew she wanted?
After the worst year of her life, speechwriter and introvert Flora Bell is looking forward to a calm Christmas: home, alone and as peaceful as possible. But when her chaotic mum and sister turn up out of the blue to take Flora on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to New York, it's clear the universe has other ideas.
When Flora meets cartoonist Ethan in a Greenwich Village coffee shop – who happens to need help writing a best man's speech – fate and joy seem to be taking the wheel for the first time in her life.
But just as she dares to believe her New York fairytale might be coming true, she discovers something that changes everything.
Will Flora ever be able to reclaim her quiet existence?
Or will the bells of New Year's Eve ring in a new life altogether?

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
My debut novel explores one woman’s obsession with cheesy Christmas movies. You can order it here.
Can life be like a made-for-TV Christmas movie?
Mally Allister prides herself on being nice and predictable, just like the trope-filled festive films she turns to for comfort every winter.
But when she faces the prospect of spending Christmas alone in her London flat, Mally is sent on a writing assignment to try to recreate the cheesy Christmas movie experience in her unremarkable British hometown.
With the help of familiar faces from her formative years, including her teenage crush Tom, Mally starts ticking off the classic holiday romance movie tropes in unexpected ways.
But can real life ever live up to the magical movie experience?
