I am busy writing my third book, which is entitled 'Reaching For The Stars'. It's the story of a disillusioned celebrity chef called Finlay McDuff, who gives up his hard won accolades - three Golden Stars - and goes into self imposed exile in a castle on a Scottish country estate.

 

The heroine of the tale is a rising star in the culinary world, an ambitious chef determined to be the first woman in Britain to get three Golden Stars. So, when these two characters get together, the knives are out and the heat is on!

 

'Reaching For The Stars'  is set against a backdrop of fine food and steamy kitchens - so you can imagine all the fun I had researching this book. I found it all so interesting in fact that I wrote an article on it for Romance Matters - the magazine of The Romantic Novelist's Association - which was seen by an ITV Feature Editor who then contacted me to say she wanted to film my research method for a local TV news programme called 'Lookaround'!

 

The resulting short film was broadcast in January and you can watch it by clicking on the ‘still’ photo above.
