Jane certainly saved me a lot of headaches and the result was my #poetry collection, 'Why It’s Better To Be Struggling Half-way Up A High Hill On Your Own'. I'm still delighted with it. www.amazon.co.uk/Better-Strug... It wouldn't have happened without @janes-studio.bsky.social! 🤩🤩🤩

The Greek Proposal, romantic suspense with a WW2 mystery set on a gorgeous olive grove high above the sea. The story came to me during a year in this region, on a long Greek sabbatical with my husband and terrier Wallace. "A masterful piece of storytelling." A heartfelt love story". 5* reviews.
