I don’t normally use this blog to promote my novels, but this one and the one I posted about last week are close to my heart. I’d love them to move further into the world.
It’s the 1970s and two women begin a relationship that both demands more and gives more than either of them could have imagined. Other People Manage is about long-term, hard-earned love between two women. This isn’t romance, it’s the kind of love you have to work for.

“A quietly devastating novel about our failings and how we cope” –Patrick Gale
“A persuasive and deftly told story about a long-lasting love.” —Times Literary Supplement
“A tender and beautiful addition to the literary canon, and a mirror for LGBT readers.” –Joelle Taylor, the Irish Times

You can buy it directly from the publisher or from whoever handles those things well in your part of the world. Or borrow it from the library. Libraries are wonderful.
Notes from the U.K. 
I have bought A Decent World, and look forward to reading it Ellen. I will review it in due time

They both deserve to be out there! I read Other People quite a while ago now – although the ads say it’s a mirror for LGBT people, it’s a mirror for human beings in general I think. Very poignant.
Currently in the middle of A Decent World, and it’s just as good, I’m finding it quietly compelling. The people in it have become real in my head.
I hope your other blog readers take note and treat themselves to some excellent writing.

Thanks for that. The characters becoming real in readers’ heads is the best recommendation I could ask for.
Wishing you all the best for the holidays.
