The Course of True Love
"As ever, the Bard is correct: the course of true love never did run smooth. But it is in using our courage to navigate the bumpy roads that we discover what is real and lasting..." Grandma Dot, I'll Take New York

THE AUDIOBOOK - Somewhere Beyond the Sea
How the audiobook version of Somewhere Beyond the Sea was cast and recorded and why I think everyone should hear my amazing cast of CLARE CORBETT (Audio Narrator of the Year 2017) and JONATHAN BAILEY (Broadchurch, W1A) as Seren and Jack, in my Cornish-set love story.
(Pan Macmillan Audio) The first two chapters of my new novel, #SomewhereBeyondtheSea, read by the amazing Clare Corbett (Audio Narrator of the Year 2017) and Jonathan Bailey (Broadchurch, W1A) as Seren and Jack. They bring my characters magnificently to life and I am over the moon with their performances. Completely magic!

My new book, Somewhere Beyond the Sea, publishes on 14th June in paperback, ebook and stunning audiobook, read by Clare Corbett and Jonathan Bailey. This is the first in a series of behind-the-scenes vlogs, where I’ll introduce you to the characters, locations and themes of the book, together with some hidden gems and exclusive snippets. Meet SEREN MACARTHUR - the first of my two protagonists...
A village in rural India has started a new tradition to honor girls — every time a girl is born, 111 trees are planted in celebration on the village commons! The village is located in the state of Rajasthan, a region with such a strong preference for boys that the sex ratio is now skewed to 928 women for every 1000 men. The village of Piplantri, whose tree-planting project has transformed it into a green oasis with a quarter of a million new trees planted over the past six years, is leading the way on changing attitudes on how girls are valued.
The initiative was started by the former village head, Shyam Sundar Paliwal, in memory of his daughter Kiran who died in 2007. In addition to tree-planting, the community also makes a collective investment in their girls. When a girl is born, parents sign an affidavit agreeing to educate their daughter and not to marry her until she reaches the legal age. In return, the whole community contributes to her future financial well-bring: the villagers donate 21,000 Rupees ($335) to the parents’ contribution of 10,000 Rupees ($160), all of which is deposited in a bank account that cannot be accessed until the girl turns 20 years old.
Over the six years the program has been going on, the impact on the village of 8,000 has been dramatic. In addition to making the area around the village lush and green, it has also brought economic and social benefits to the community as a whole. To help protect the trees from insects, the villagers have planted over 2.5 million Aloe vera plants around them which they now harvest sustainability to produce a variety of Aloe-based products for sale. And, most importantly, in a region with a deeply entrenched preference for boys, Piplantri is showing how honoring girls not only empowers girls and women, it uplifts entire communities.

My Good and True Companion
This is just gorgeous - while going through my Gran's things we found this poem written by my late Grandpa to her while he was serving in the RAF during WW2. My sister is going to read it at Gran's funeral today: "To my Dorigo, I have found a friend who cheers me, when the road is long, And above the noise of battle, I can hear a song. I can see a lighted window, when my day is spent, Shining from our 'dream cottage' of quietness and content. I have found my trusty comrade, someone who will share What God may choose to send - ill luck or fortune fair. My good and true companion, who will march in step with me, Believing in the promise that the 'Best' is yet to be! Geoffy"
