As a child, Katie loved ponies, all things pink and sparkly and dashing Event rider Roger Fleming Bowen. Now in her twenties, she’s escaped a desk job in London, packed her collection of pink polo shirts and moved to Northumberland to work for her childhood hero.

The attraction between the two of them is instant and Katie’s keen to win more than rosettes and the silver spurs on offer at the Scottish Championship, but Roger has vowed to never again get involved with his staff, having learnt from the casual but disastrous relationships in the past. Then, at an international competition near Inverness, catastrophe strikes for Katie and Roger is forced to question everything he has been so certain of…

So, this is it. Crunch time. Silver Spurs and a Twelve Pound Heart is wearing its best Sunday clothes and I can’t wait to share it with you. You can order it online from my wonderful publisher, The Book Guild, or from Waterstones, or WHSmith. It’s also available from Amazon as either a paperback or Kindle book.

The book is set in the fictional village of Athward in rural Northumberland, and The Accidental Bookshop in Alnwick also have copies in stock. Please support your local bookshop if you can, they are incredibly important to the book trade. You can contact The Accidental Bookshop by clicking here.

The link to the Spotify playlist which accompanies the book is below. This should be listened to while you explore the land around Athward Hall as the adventures of Katie, Shelley and Roger unfold. I recommend a vodka and tonic to complete the experience.
