Hello and thanks for dropping by! I'm the author of well over 20 books now with more to come. Many have been bestsellers in the Amazon charts, the UK paperback charts and even The Sunday Times paperback fiction chart. I write three different kinds of novels, but all feature the strong heroines that I hope you'll really enjoy spending time with. Best known are my Personal Shopper novels, which star loveable comedy heroine, Annie Valentine. Four children, a second husband, a career in fashion, Annie's life is full of opportunities for adventure, comedy and fun. In order, these books are: 1. The Personal shopper 2. Late Night Shopping 3. How Not To Shop 4. Celebrity Shopper 5. New York Valentine 6. Shopping With The Enemy 7. Annie in Paris But don't feel you have to read them strictly in order as each comes with its own set of adventures that you can enjoy without knowing everything that's come before. Then there are the family novels, which focus on one heroine and her whole family because I do love a family drama packed with adventure, big feelings and comedy. Children, husbands, parents, siblings - expect to find a whole mix of families in these books. You may shed a few tears, but hopefully you'll laugh too and have that warm, all-is-right-with-the-world feeling at the end. The latest titles are: Worn Out Wife Seeks New Life New Family Required The Woman Who Ran For The Hills Three In A Bed I also write for younger readers, aged around 12-16. These books include my action-adventure story Cross My Heart, set during the Second World War and featuring an incredibly brave teenage girl. Then there are the Secrets at St Jude's novels which follow four best friends at a boarding school in Edinburgh in Scotland, including new girl Gina who joins, all the way from California. These books are currently getting a re-edit and new covers, but they will be back soon! 1. Secrets at St Jude's New Girl 2. Secrets at St Jude's Jealous Girl 3. Secrets at St Jude's Drama Girl 4. Secrets at St Jude's Rebel Girl 5. Secrets at St Jude's Sunshine Girl 6. Secrets at St Jude's Party Girl Welcome to my world. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and if you're reading an Annie Valentine book, you may even tweak your wardrobe! See you there, Carmen xxx
