My book is out now. It is a sparkling Christmas romance set in beautiful Rum Cove. All writers use real life as their inspiration and I am no exception. Rum Cove is actually based on Robin Hood’s Bay, a delightful North Yorkshire Fishing village, near Whitby. It is a fabulous little cove, with lots of cobbled roads that lead down to the bay. In the 17th century, the place was rife with smugglers and there is rumoured to be a whole net work of underground tunnels. Luxury items such as gin, brandy and tea used to be smuggled and there were often pitch battles with Excise staff! There are loads of fossils locally and pieces of jet. It is well worth a visit, and have a pint in The Bay Hotel.
