The Yellow Villa

I'm just back from France where I was researching my new novel The Yellow Villa*.

I had an amazing time, met loads of interesting people and saw some beautiful places - in particular this village called Cordes-sur-Ciel which is in the South-West, Tarn region and will be the setting for the novel.

In the meantime, The French Perfumer is coming along nicely. The editing process is almost complete and I have now seen the first cover proposal which I'm looking forward to revealing soon. It will be released in March 2017.

This book has quite a new look which will be replicated in a re-issued edition of The Olive Sisters. I'm so thrilled that Penguin have decided to re-release The Olive Sisters as people often ask me where they can buy a copy and it's been tricky for the last couple of years since it went out of print.

So good things to come! You can see more about my research trip HERE
