September celebrated the one year anniversary of Kitty McKenzie! Woohoo!

My Victorian historical mainstream, Kitty McKenzieis set in the
beautiful city York, Yorkshire England, 1864.
This story and its sequel, Kitty McKenzie's Land is one of my favourite
stories. The characters came alive for me straight away and demanded to
be heard.Writing Kitty's journey was emotional and very satisfying.
By the end of the two books, I felt as though I had a best friend. She
is someone who will stay with me forever.

1864 Suddenly left as the head of the family, Kitty McKenzie must find
her inner strength to keep her family together against the odds. Evicted
from their resplendent home in the fashionable part of York after her
parents' deaths, Kitty must fight the legacy of bankruptcy and
homelessness to secure a home for her and her siblings.
Through sheer willpower and determination she grabs opportunities with
both hands from working on a clothes and rag stall in the market to
creating a teashop for the wealthy. Her road to happiness is fraught
with obstacles of hardship and despair, but she refuses to let her dream
of a better life for her family die and she learns that love and loyalty
brings its own reward.

Kitty McKenzie is available in paperback.

Kitty McKenzie is a strong woman who has to struggle and triumph over
many adversities in Anne Whitfield's historical saga. A powerful tale of
heartbreak, pain and survival, Kitty McKenzie is a spellbinding tale
reminiscent of the novels of Catherine Cookson and Barbara Taylor
Bradford's A Woman of Substance.

A fresh voice, Australia's Anne Whitfield brings life to this tale of a
woman's perseverance, of her discovering she is stronger than she ever
knew. It's a gentle story of woman's struggle to keep life at bay, while
holding true to her brothers and sisters. The writing is sharp, and
pulls the reader into the story, makes them care. Obviously, there will
be another book dealing with Kitty's journey to Australia. I eagerly
look forward to it and more from this talented writer.DeborahAnne

Fancy reading a hot little short story?

Check out my latest release, Avenue Of Dreams!
Blurb
Molly Daniels is summer holidaying in a small town in the country to
recover from a broken marriage. She's hurt, disillusioned and unsure
of her future. She last thing she is looking for is a man.
Sebastian Lord is the town's most eligible bachelor, a title he
hates. Having given up on a successful career in the city he now owns a
small farm and is content to hide away there, away from the real world
that has hurt him in the past. Since his fiancé was killed four years
ago, he's refused to enter the dating game again.
They're an unlikely pair, but Seb's wayward dog has a habit of
bringing them together. They give into their attraction and share a hot
summer together, but can they let go of the past enough to embrace a
future together?

The first review for Avenue Of Dreams is in.

Avenue of Dreams is an easily read tale. With an enjoyable voice and a
plot that nudged me to want Molly and Sebastian to be together, I'd
recommend this romantic story if you need assurance that true love does
exist.
