The C is for Chris and the J is for Jinx. I’m the author of WW2 romp The Excitements. It’s my personal tribute to the ‘Greatest Generation’ - both the brave young people they were and the formidable older people they became.
I like to think of The Excitements as three books in one: it’s a comedy, a history and a mystery. I hope you have as much fun reading my book as I had writing it. As my heroines Penny and Josephine would say, stay ‘Toujours gai!’
"I love this book so SO much! It's gorgeously written, about two ex war heroines, now in their 90's but still bright and sparky."
''Not all heroes wear capes, some wear M&S cardigans! A triumph!"
'Just pure joy from start to finish.'
'Utterly charming and engrossing'
'Funny, thrilling and brilliantly researched.'
'A glorious, rip-roaring adventure, so funny and charming, yet laced with unexpected moments of real tenderness and reflection'
''The literary equivalent to a perfect Martini, The Excitements is sharp, delicious, instantly mood-lifting and utterly intoxicating.'
