A GIVEAWAY. YAY!!!!

 Hello Lovely Readers!


Well, it looks like Winter arrived on a drumroll this weekend. On Friday and Saturday we had howling, violent, destructive wind, rain, and today we have snow and even a flash of lightening - I kid you not! And while the snow looks delightful as it sails down from the heavens, my thoughts do turn to those less fortunate than ourselves, and pray that they find shelter and a warm place to stay this Winter. 

Weather features prominently in some of my sagas, The Mersey Mistress sees Anna Cassidy take over her mother's role after an accident. But when events take a tragic turn, when a their home is set alight. Anna is taken in by a feisty business woman with a heart of gold, and her brother Sam is sent to Canada as part of the child migration scheme. This is the first of the Mersey Dockside series.

The second novel is The Mersey Angels and see's Anna and her best friend train as nurses at the beginning of the first world war. Ruby opens Ashland Hall up as a hospital for returning soldiers injured in the war. And Anna's true love, Ned, goes to sea to do his bit. Will they ever meet again?


I have also been busy writing the third in my Reckoner's Row trilogy, but, having completed the third, The Mersey Mothers, (out on 1st March,) more new characters have popped up, whom I would like to explore. So who knows, we may go back some day.

I am also doing a Christmas giveaway. Yay! All I want you to do is tell me what kind of character and decade you like most in a family saga. They can be anybody you want them to be, and if your suggestion is chosen, not only will your character be included in a novel - but the lucky winner will receive a signed copy of The Mersey Mistress and The Mersey Angels, along with some other goodies.

I look forward to seeing your suggestions.

 Until next time, stay safe and warm. 

Big Hugs, Sheila xx

Hello, Lovelies! Come in, let's chat...

Hello, Lovely Readers! Come in, let's chat... 


I wanted to show you these fabulous fridge magnets of The Mersey Mistress and The Mersey Angels. Two of my novels published this year that are currently in the best-selling category of Historical Sagas on Amazon, which I am thrilled about. I am also working on the idea of a third novel in this series, so watch this space.

Also, drum roll please, you will be pleased to hear, the long awaited third novel of the Reckoner's Row series, The Mersey Mothers, will be out in Spring 2022, where we catch up with all our favourite characters in 1953. Not only is it the year of The Queen's Coronation but also the residents of the Liverpool dockside row are looking forward to the forthcoming wedding of Evie Kilgaren and Danny Harris. But the road to happy matrimony is bumpy and not everything is as it seems. Will Evie make it down the aisle?

I'm looking forward to bringing you more news soon, and also, I am going to be sending out a few giveaways. So keep your eyes peeled. I would love to hear which of my books you liked best, but until then... Happy Reading, Lovelies!


Love and best wishes, 💖

A Brand New Gritty Series

 Hello, Lovelies!

I just want to say thank you to all my fabulous readers who have written to me to tell me how much they enjoyed my latest novel, The Mersey Mistress, which was published in April 2021 and tells the story of a Liverpool dockside community in the years leading up to WW1 and takes you on a journey to another time, another place, from the banks of the River Mersey to the frozen waters of the Canadian Saint Laurence River.

I am also thrilled to tell you that The Mersey Mistress is currently riding high at number five in the Amazon Kindle Saga charts (at time of writing) and I thought I would let you know all about this new release.


The next novel in the series is The Mersey Angels, to be published in August 2021, but more about that later, and I will keep you posted.

Happy reading!
