‘One of the most beloved authors of her generation’ SUNDAY TIMES
There’s more to every love story than what we choose to tell…
It’s spring and Lara’s three grown daughters have returned to the family orchard. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the one story they’ve always longed to hear – of the film star with whom she shared a stage, and a romance, years before.
Tom Lake is a meditation on youthful love, married love, and the lives parents lead before their children are born. Both hopeful and elegiac, it explores what it means to be happy even when the world is falling apart.
‘One of our greatest living chroniclers of love and marriage … Expect wonder; Patchett always delivers’ ELLE
Tom Lake was ranked #6 in UK TCM paperback charts week ending 9/6/2024

Filled with heartbreak, betrayal and triumph, The Right Time is an uplifting story about pursuing your passion – from the world’s favourite storyteller, Danielle Steel.
Abandoned by her mother at age seven, Alexandra Winslow takes solace in the mysteries she reads with her devoted father. Soon she is writing them herself, with a talent far beyond her years. After her father’s untimely death, Alex is taken in by the nuns of a local convent, who encourage her to follow her dream.
Alex writes in every spare moment and completes her first novel in college. It’s quickly snapped up by a publisher, but Alex, remembering her late father’s advice, insists on writing under a male pseudonym, with her true identity known only to a few.
Success comes easily to Alex, but its toll is heavy. Her secret life as the mysterious Alexander Green exposes her to the envious, the arrogant, and the Hollywood players who have no idea who she really is.
The right time to open up always seems just out of reach. But once Alex’s double life is revealed, the truth could have devastating consequences . . .

Greta Davies, the features editor at a women’s magazine, is accomplished and successful. That is, in all areas except her love life.
Determined to help, Greta’s boss – and friend – secretly enlists the help of the Ever After Agency, and sets out to make her dreams come true.

With date after disastrous date, things are not looking rosy for Greta. But little does Greta know, the perfect man has been there all along. Will she realise it’s more than friendship before it’s too late?
A fun and sexy rom com inspired by the classics How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, Thirteen Going on Thirty and Sex and the City.

From the Publisher
Hi Readers!
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my books. I was inspired to write my first novel Stalker from a traumatic experience over twenty years ago, so my books lean towards darker themes, but don’t let that put you off.
I write gritty thrillers with female protagonists, clawing back control and seeking justice for the wrongs that have been done to them. Many of the characters I write about have been exploited in some way or are haunted by their past experiences.
I have always been fascinated by how easily life can spiral out of control as a result of one snap decision or a bad judgement call. How extraordinary things can happen to ordinary people in the blink of an eye and the consequences that follow.
All my books are standalone stories, written in first-person and set in the Surrey and Sussex areas.
Thank you for taking a look, be brave and dive into one of my fast-paced stories that will hopefully keep you gripped until the very last page.
Gemma
