A winter comfort read
 
Watch out for another piece of nostalgic comfort. It harks back to the early eighties, pre internet and mobile telephony, and is both a romance and an adventure and my second tribute to the late Betty Neels. BEATRICE is available now on Kindle, KDP Select and in print from Amazon.
 
In a quest to explore her roots, Beatrice Asante is determined to visit her father’s homeland in Africa. So she sets out on an adventure that will take her from a small farming community in the north of England to the heat of tropical Africa, where unforeseen danger awaits. Set in 1981/2, the story references the icy weather of that British winter and the very real political upheaval in one African country at the time, as Beatrice, aided by agricultural consultant Richard Maitland, struggles to survive and to escape.
 
The Kindle edition is specially priced at 99p/99c, as is my first tribute novel to Betty Neels, JOANNE.

New contemporary novel coming SOON

Some months ago, I watched the powerful film A United Kingdom (2016), which relates the story of Ruth and Seretse Khama and their struggle to gain acceptance as a racially-mixed couple both in the UK (where Seretse was training as a barrister) and Bechuanaland, in the 1940s. That led me to take a closer look at colonialism and the struggle again British rule. The west African country of Ghana gained independence in 1957, the first African colony to do so, and was initially ruled by Kwame Nkrumah. Nkrumah studied in London and for a short time also undertook legal training at Gray’s Inn (Seretse was at the Inner Temple around the same time).
 
This background gave me the idea for the context of my latest novel. It’s a contemporary romance set in 1981/2 and the heroine is the daughter of a Ghanaian/British racially-mixed couple. It’s called Beatrice and is due out in December, available on Kindle, KDP Select and Amazon paperback.
