SOPHIA is the most attractive of the girls, always beautifully dressed and with a spectacular figure. She loves getting all dressed up and attracts attention wherever she goes, but will she ever meet someone who loves her for who she is rather than what she looks like?

ISABELLA is a hairdresser…she is completely down to earth, a little bit chubby and always worried about her weight. She would love to meet someone but is convinced that being overweight stops men from being interested.
GEORGINA is mum! She’s a retired teacher who’s enjoying spending more time with her daughters now she doesn’t have to work

“This tale will amaze and delight you; it will warm your heart.”



BOOK ONE: Return to Sunshine Cottage

But when she returns, will she be able to resist the charms of Peter – the wealthy, sophisticated lawyer with whom she was so desperately in love before he broke her heart into a million pieces?
And what of Matt – the scruffy baseball coach with a warm heart and a kind soul, will he be able to win her over?
Who will she choose? And what about the texts that Matt keeps sending? Who are they to?
What is the big SECRET that he’s carrying around with him?
Set in a beautiful fishing village called Cove Bay, North Carolina, this is a new series full of drama, romance, tears and joy.

The Mary Brown Mysteries

Hello,

This is the second blog post about my books. In this one, I'm going to concentrate on the Mary Brown Mystery books. There are two at the moment (well, one precisely at this moment, the other is being written but is out VERY soon), and there are lots more coming in 2021.


BOOK ONE: Marvellous Mary Brown and the Mysterious Invitation

Mary receives an invitation to a funeral. But she has absolutely no idea who the deceased is. She’s told that he invited her on his deathbed, and he’s very keen for her to attend, but who is he? She has no idea!
So she decides to find out, and heads off to a dilapidated old farm house in a remote part of Wales. When she gets there she discovers that only five other people have been invited to the funeral. None of them knows who the deceased is either.
NO ONE GOING TO THIS FUNERAL HAS EVER HEARD OF THE GUY WHO'S BEING BURIED. WHAT IS GOING ON??
Then they are told that they have 20 hours to work out why they have been invited in order to inherit a million pounds.
Who is this guy and why are they there? And what of the ghostly goings on in the ancient old building?
Featuring Mary Brown, star of the Adorable Fat Girl series of books, in her greatest adventure yet.


BOOK TWO: Marvellous Mary Brown & the Manhunt (out in December 2020)

This is the follow up book to Mysterious Invitation. It can be read alone, but is best read after Marvellous Mary Brown and the Mysterious Invitation.

Mysterious Manhunt continues the story, as Mary and the unlikely Mysterious Invitation crowd head off in search of a missing family. There are twists and turns and moments of madness. Featuring Juan Pablo on the stage, her boyfriend, Ted, in a fight and Mary Brown in the middle of it all, wondering what in the name of the lord she's got herself all caught up in...

Mary proves herself to be super sleuth extraordinaire as she finds the clues to help crack the code. But will it be enough?

The Adorable Fat Girl books

Hello everyone,

This is my first post on Goodreads!!! I've been writing novels for years but didn't realise (until yesterday!) that you could add blogs and new book information onto the site, so - huge apologies - I'll be much more involved from now on.

I thought my first posts should be a simple look at my books, so if anyone is thinking of reading them, they know which order they come in, and how they all work.

I'll start with the Adorable Fat Girl series, then follow up with other posts about the other series.

So, Adorable Fat Girl (AFG) is about a wonderful, funny, gorgeous and crazy woman called Mary Brown who is overweight and decides to do something about it.

Book reviewers have described the series as "BRIDGET JONES WITH CAKE!"
because she's charming, crazy and adorable like Bridget.

Mary decides that she needs to lose weight, so she joins 'Fat Club' and the first three books are all about her experiences at the weightloss group, and the people she meets there.

After that, the series develops and we go on all manner of adventures with Mary - on safari, cruising, to a yoga retreat and a weight loss camp.

Then there's a Christmas book, a book about lockdown and several books about dating and romance...and there are lots more books to come.

The books can be read in any order, but I've listed the order they were written in below, incase you want to read them in sequence.
There's also a series of mystery books, that Mary Brown stars in (and they will be in the next post).

I really hope you enjoy reading them. BB xx

THE ORDER OF THE ADORABLE FAT GIRL BOOKS:

BOOK ONE: Diary of an Adorable Fat Girl
BOOK TWO: Adventures of an Adorable Fat Girl
BOOK THREE: Crazy Life of an Adorable Fat Girl

BOOK SIX: Cruise with an Adorable Fat Girl
