As many of you know, it is Rodney who has a regular blog (he puts up a new one most Fridays) to ensure that you are all kept up to date with our news: the link to this blog is www.rodney-willett.blogspot.com.

Transworld decided that The Christmas Angel should be published just before Christmas (for obvious reasons) so that meant that the usual round of signings took place when the days were quite short in stark contrast to the long days of summer when these events used to happen. It also meant a change in my writing pattern as it was clearly going to be impossible to start writing the next book in October as I usually do. I am sure that other novelists would have had no problem but I find it impossible to inhabit the world about which I am writing at the same time as things are happening in ‛real life’.

Still, I did have some characters chatting away in the background and was able to make some notes during that time. Anyway, when the last event was over I made a start and now, with Christmas over for another year, I shall be able to return to normal albeit some four or five months later than usual. I say normal but this is, of course, a subjective judgement.

This is not a good time for the small book shops and I would ask all my readers to do what they can to support them as much as they can. At the same time I understand that this is not always possible.

I am often asked in which order the books should be read. The list to the left is in the order in which they were written and I think it is the best order in which to read them. For further details of each book, please click on the title.

One of the settings for the next book to be published – now in production - is on the banks of the River Tamar which, for those of you who do not live in the UK, is the boundary between Devon and Cornwall.



This is a magical place where one is constantly aware of subtle differences in the quality of the light and the ever changing state of the tide. We have visited it on numerous occasions and each visit was a bit of an adventure because the river is always so very different.


Thank you for dropping in.


All best wishes, Marcia
