Aww! My baby will be off to senior school soon! Because when you write a book, it’s a tiny bit like having a baby: maybe a little less poo and vomit, but not much less!
Night and Day was my 6th book – and the first to feature my 1930s setting with a young female amateur detective. It still remains one of my top sellers, I’m pleased to say. In the 10 years it’s been available, it has sold paperbacks, including large print paperbacks and regular ones. And a few hardbacks. And a large number of ebooks. The book is also available in German, as are a number of my other books.
I’m very grateful to all those people who have invested their money and their time in reading something that I thought of sitting on the front step of our house in Australia in the late 1990s. To readers everywhere, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Dottie is nineteen years old in book one. She lives with her parents in London, somewhere not too far from the area of Covent Garden. She has a married sister, Flora, who is two-and-a-half years older than she is. On her way home from the theatre one evening, Dottie takes a taxi to the wrong address. Her sister has only just moved into the house and Dottie forgets the number. She decides to walk the short distance.
And so begins Dottie’s journey as an amateur detective. She feels she just has to know what happened. This leads her, of course, into the path of a young police officer, William Hardy.
And the rest… Well…
You’ll just have to read the books to find out!
