An Ordinary Gift
.
It's out! The first episode of my four-part serial for Woman's Weekly is in the shops this week.
It is called An Ordinary Gift, it is set in lovely Ely in Cambridgeshire and it is a slightly spooky paranormal mystery.
The main character is Clare Somerset, an ancient-music archivist, who arrives in Ely to start a new job and a new passage in her life. As far as she knows, she has never visited Ely before, but almost from the first moment she starts to experience near-memories...
I set the serial in Ely because it is local to where I live and is one of my favourite towns. Here I am taking tea in Topping&Company Booksellers with a view of the Cathedral filling the upper windows. Anyone who has ever visited Toppings and been entranced by the interior will notice a certain similarity to Clare's new workplace!
Enjoy.

I shall be able to read it knowing EXACTLY where it all is. Have at least one friend who still lives there. Did I tell you I was transferred to hospital there after I'd had Miles in Cambridge? Useless piece of information.
Love the premise, know your characters will take us there (both the story - and the beautiful area)!
And btw, did you notice the southern belle of all time - well, next to Scarlett, that is - is on the cover? :)
Exciting news, thanks for sharing - now, go celebrate!

I didn't know that, Lesley!
Hope you like it :)
Love your faith in me, Jen!
And yes, the Dolly Parton article is interesting too.
I will buy my copy tomorrow and can't wait to read. Love the photos of you at Toppings! Hurray for you.
Thanks, Adele. Such a lovely place.
Out to buy it now. I love slightly spooky AND your writing, so it's a bonus package for me.
This sounds right up my street! I'll look out for it at the newsagents :-) Jane Gray
I'm going to the shops today - I love spooky stories! (Does anyone else remember the girls' magazine Misty? We're talking mid to late 70s. I loved it!)
PS meant to say, it's a given that spooky story + your writing = unbeatable combo.
Jenny and Kate - you are both very kind. The voice in this one is slightly different to normal, so hope you aren't disappointed
Welcome, Jane. Nice to see you here. I enjoyed your blog :)
Great news about your serial, Jan. I've visited Ely twice, but many years ago, and I love the Cathedral. The second time we visited we took my (late) mother with us but the lantern was scaffolded (inside) and she wasn't able to see it's splendours, but what a wonderful cathedral it is!

Margaret - it certainly is a splendid cathedral. Towers over everything around it.
