My first published book, The Wines of the Languedoc-Roussillon, grew out of a lifelong love affair with French wine. Beautifully illustrated and written in a simple, straightforward style, the book offers an engaging introduction to the wines of this fascinating region in southern France.

​

In my debut novel, The French Bed, I combined my love of France and wine with a good splash of mystery and romance and the coming sequel The French Couturier follows in a similar vein. 

​

So far, all my books have been set in France, and with more novels in the pipeline, you can be sure France - and wine - will continue to play a part. ​There is, however, another place that has begun to weave its way into my stories. In The French Bed, my protagonist Lizzy lives in a pretty Cotswolds cottage. Perhaps writing about it cast a little magic, because I now live in that beautiful part of England. I's an inspiring place for a writer, and I have a feeling the Cotswolds will play a much bigger role in future stories.

 

Short Stories - As well as novels I write short stories which are all FREE to read in Wendy’s Book Depository plus bonus stories are sent out to Subscribers.

​

Substack - In The Franco-Files, you will find My Life in Languedoc – a memoir in chapters. Languedoc will always hold a very special place in my heart but with the memoir finished I will now be writing about other parts of France - short love letters about the country that captured my heart many years ago.​
