I won the Elizabeth Goudge Trophy 2026
I’m thrilled to announce that at this year’s RNA Conference, I was presented with the Elizabeth Goudge Trophy for the opening to what will become a new book, Thirty Years Later.
Suzanne's new Christmas romcom
Enemies to lovers, protagonists in their 40s, lots of banter, an errant gerbil and a mystery, all set over Christmas in a hotel cut off from the outside world by a storm. Out now!
Kate is the capable manager of a struggling Victorian seaside hotel. James is a secretive and infuriating guest. When a storm leaves them stranded alone together on Christmas Eve, she discovers a lot more about him – and the hotel.
Set in my favourite fictional Devon town, Dashford-on-Sea, it features a couple of cameo appearances by characters from the main series, but you can read it as a standalone story and there are no spoilers for the main series either.
