Annie Lyons
After leaving university, Annie Lyons decided that she rather liked books and got a job as a bookseller on Charing Cross Road, London. Two years later she left the retail world and continued rather liking books during an eleven-year career in publishing. Following redundancy in 2009 she realised that she would rather like to write books and having undertaken a creative writing course, lots of reading and a bit of practice she produced Not Quite Perfect. She now realises that she loves writing as much as coffee, not as much as her children and a bit more than gardening.

And Then There Was You (2025)
Miranda Dickinson
"Miranda Dickinson is my go-to author for heart-warming, uplifting romance. I was rooting for the lost and lonely Merryn and Zach to find one another from the very first page. Add in an abandoned piano in need of a home, a long-lost relative and a host of brilliant local characters who leap off the page and you have the perfect summer read."
Grace of the Empire State (2025)
Gemma Tizzard
"Set in 1930s New York during the construction of the Empire State Building, this is a thrilling, heartbreaking, original story about the power of family, friendship and women struggling to survive in a man's world. I love novels featuring strong female characters and was consequently swept away by Grace's strength, determination and sheer resilience from the very first page. A must-read for historical fiction fans."
The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern (2024)
Lynda Cohen Loigman
"A beautiful tale of family, friendship, lost love, growing old and the magic of second chances. I defy you not to take Augusta Stern and this wonderful cast of characters to your heart. Uplifting, charming and completely life-affirming."
