In May, my World War Two novel Anna at War, for ages 9+, will be reissued with a brilliant new cover by David Dean. David designed the wonderful cover for Friends and Traitors, and the fantastic, action-packed covers for the new editions of The Secret Hen House Theatre and The Farm Beneath the Water that came out last year, as well as the third book in the Hannah’s Farm trilogy, The Great Farm Rescue. He also created a gorgeous new cover for my spooky timeslip story Evie’s Ghost, which was reissued in October last year, just in time for Halloween!

The seventeenth story in my Jasmine Green animal rescue series will be published in October. A Reindeer Called Joy is a festive story about a baby reindeer who needs to be nursed back to health after a dramatic escape at a Christmas market. I absolutely loved writing this story. I was especially inspired by my visit to the Cotswold Reindeer Herd, where I got to feed raisins to the reindeer and ask all sorts of questions about these gorgeous animals. As with the rest of the series, A Reindeer Called Joy will be illustrated by the amazing Ellie Snowdon, who is currently busy working on the cover and illustrations. I can’t wait to see them! I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.
