My new book will be released on the 18th of November 2026.

First Impressions – Literary Houses & Famous Authors is now available to pre-order at Waterstones, Foyles and Amazon. Released on the 18th November 2026.

A journey you will never forget! Visiting their former homes, and places that inspired them. Including:  Robert Louis Stevenson – Thomas Hardy – Jane Austen – Bronte Sisters – Rudyard Kipling – Agatha Christie – Lewis Carroll – Elizabeth Gaskell – A.L. Rowse and Violet Clifton.

I often wonder if these authors know when a reader opens their books. Do they see a glimmer of light wherever they are in eternity, that let’s them know they are still inspiring us? It would be nice to think that somehow, somewhere, their souls still connect with ours. They are the past, the present and most importantly the future. We can still learn so much from them. I hope you enjoy the journey and, you never know, when visiting one of these places, from the corner of your eye, you may see a fleeting shadow of them flicker by.
