Welcome to Lago di Fiore

My fictional Italian lake — and the heart of the Echoes of the Lake series. 

Inspired by the Tuscany I once called home, each book follows a woman at a crossroads —juggling family, love, loss, divorce or long-held secrets, and years of putting everyone else first.

FINISHED READING TIME FOR TUSCANY?

If Sara’s story stayed with you, even for a little while, leaving a short review is one of the kindest ways to support an author.

It doesn’t need to be long or polished, however, a few words on Amazon means more than you realise.

Thank you, truly. Your review makes all the difference.

 'The hills, the light, the scent of jasmine on warm stone… they healed me, shaped me, and found their way into every word I write.'
