I’m delighted to announce that Lucy, the Suffragist, in a compelling tale of the courageous women who fought for their right to vote, and the long awaited Book 3 in The Art of Secrets, series (dual-timeline family sagas about finding your roots) is now available on pre-order for release on Mother’s Day, 14 May 2023.
Each of the three books can be read as stand-alone, but getting to the know the characters better by reading the series in order will enhance the experience. Let me recap …
Emma, the journalist in The Art of Secrets (Book 1), is a broken-hearted young woman who finally comes to terms with the painful truth about herself, thanks to her adversary, Charlotte Day. While Emma wants to forget; Charlotte never can. Together they remember.
Some years later, in her role as family historian and biographer of other people’s family histories, a friend asks Emma to find an ancestor in Book 2, Elinor, the Matriarch. Managing a distraught friend, a mysterious stalker, and generations of secrets, Elinor is a gripping tale of love, loss, and loyalty. While Emma’s job is to find the link, tracing a family tree suddenly becomes a dangerous occupation.
Emma’s willingness to help others uncover the mysteries of their past sometimes puts her in harm’s way. Yet curiosity spurs her to solve the riddles of her clients’ family trees – even the ones where she is threatened and everything she cares about is put in jeopardy.
To find out if her passion for revealing secrets outweighs her commitment to her family and friends, read Lucy (Book 3), and discover if she can unravel Paige’s intriguing past without further strife.

LUCY – The Suffragist in a compelling tale of the courageous women who fought for their right to vote
Emma’s curiosity is piqued by a gutsy young climate change campaigner with an antique trinket box full of women’s rights badges, but tracing their history pushes her to her limit.
Struggling to recover from Covid-19, Emma is terrified of developing a chronic and incurable condition and becoming a burden. She tries to ignore her fears and keeps working. She has clients who rely on her. Paige is a spirited environmentalist whose wealthy father tries to curb her enthusiasm. But she is intent on making her mark on the world in spite of him. Emma is torn between untangling the mysteries of Paige’s legacy or saving herself when exhaustion threatens everything she cares about.
