First of all, thank you for visiting my site and finding out all about my new series of novellas! I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy researching and writing them.
I guess you could say I have writing in my blood - my Mum is Kitty Neale, who has been a Sunday Times bestselling author for many years and so I've been around books and writing all my life. My mum writes wartime family sagas and so this new romance series for me takes me closer to my mum's work - and in fact we're now writing Kitty Neale stories together!
The Biscuit Tin Secrets Club has been fascinating and emotional to research - what amazing stories of love and loss and of such bravery from both men and women during such a devastating time. I'm sure that many of you will recall similar stories from your family and recognise some of these experiences.
It's a really exciting project and I'm super proud of working with the team at Book to Screen to develop it. There will be lots more to come so please do sign up for my news and get yourself a little teatime read about the dark love secrets of Miss Munro!
