It’s feeling more real now! I’ve uploaded the pre-order information to Amazon so you can pre-order the Kindle version of my latest book, Be More Capybara, to make sure it’s loaded to your Kindle or Kindle app on publication day, 11 August 2026.

Here’s some more information about the story

  • Is it part of a series? Yes, it’s the 5th book in my popular Dashford Comedies series, which started three years ago with Be More Octopus
  • When is it set? It picks up where book 4, Be Less Dragonfly, left off, with Nigel walking into his mother Nancy’s New Year’s Eve party. Why is he there when he’s meant to be at home in New York?
  • What are the key tropes? Later in life romance, romantic comedy
  • Are there any pets this time? Yes! I loved writing cheeky dog, Max, in Love Me Till Christmas, so it’s time for Dashford to have its own canine: Rocky, the rescue greyhound owned by Nigel’s old friend, Helen.
  • Will we see our favourite Dashford characters too? Yes, Em, Lucy and Nancy all play key parts in the story.

Hope you’re going to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. And I did enjoy it – I loved being back with my Dashford friends again.
