As a writer  who is also a professional genealogist, I find that my work feeds my writing, and the research I do for my novels feeds my family history research.  It is rather a perfect marriage.  I have been writing historical, or historical ‘time slip’ novels for some time now, and I have at last felt confident enough to go ahead and self-publish one.  It is called Out of Time and it has been published on Kindle since March and as a printed book at FeedARead since May.

I am pleased to say that it has been considerably well received by all who have read it, so I feel confident enough to blow my trumpet about it on my blog.  If you are interested in family history and you like a good read, then you can order it online as follows:

Without giving too much away, the story follows Catherine Burns, who meets an enigmatic musician, Will, and discovers that he seems to know more about her family history than she does.  As she finds out about each of her female ancestors in turn, more questions arise about Will, the house she lives in, and how the past is reaching out to influence her present life.  It is a story with a mystery at its heart which I hope will keep you guessing to the end!

Please feel free to leave any comments below if you have read the book and would like to discuss it.  I will be happy to answer any questions too.

I will also shortly be publishing a children’s novel (C. S. Lewis fans would probably enjoy it!) and I am currently working on a historical novel set in Victorian theatre.  Watch this space!
