Discover Captivating Regency Adventures on Audible

Published on by valerieholmesauthorLeave a comment

Summer may be drawing to a close in the UK, but what a warm one it has been! Whether you enjoyed staying at home or ventured abroad I hope you had a fun time. Personally, I love to balance travel and home. Are you a home bunny or long to see the world? 

Holidays are a way to escape from the normal routine of daily life commitments, to experience new challenges and recharge… Like escaping in a good book. If you enjoy a slow burn romance wrapped around a Regency romantic adventure, then read on…   

My exciting news for Amazon.com readers is that from today three of my Regency novellas are now available to listen to free from Audible.com – Hannah from Harpham Hall, which was shortlisted for The Love Story of the Year Award by the Romantic Novelists’ Association when it was first published by DC Thompson has now joined The Baronet’s Prize and Phoebe’s Challenge.

In the UK and other countries they can be purchased on Kindle or enjoyed free from KindleUnlimited. I hope that in the future they will also be come available in Audible in the UK too. These are my first three novellas to be re-edited and re-launched in digital format, their length is perfect for listening to on a journey or loosing yourself for a few hours in a complete slow burn mantic wrapped around an exciting adventure.

All writers grow and learn as their careers progress. Since 2003, when my first novella was accepted for publication, a further 52 have been published in traditional large print and distributed through the Commonwealth library system.

Libraries have had to compete with the change in readers’ online habits and the availability today of books in various formats through various distribution channels. A library provides a physical presence within a community, but as well as offering its invaluable traditional book-loaning service they now offer so much more to their local community. Which is why they should be used and valued.

More good news is that For Richer For Poorer, published by Sapere Books, will be released in large print by Ulverscroft in early 2026.  

For reader’s who want a longer read with all the elements of romance, mystery and adventure then get ready to fall in love! 

My books offer Regency romances that will warm and captivate your heart. Discover the untold stories, hidden away from societies prying eyes. 

Read now and escape into the adventure! 

“Silent Revenge has the potential to capture not only devoted Regency romance fans, but also readers drawn to intrigue, history, and enduring love.”

Welcome back, Sue!

Thanks very much for inviting me, Val.

The last time we chatted was back in 2016 when you had made some monumental decisions as to what you were doing with your writing/tutor time.

You were setting out new goals for the future. Now the future is here: what has worked and, if anything, what did not?

Things have gone very well. I have to pinch myself, sometimes. Since I began working with my agent, Juliet Pickering of Blake Friedmann Literary Agency, everything has taken off. I’ve been with Avon HarperCollins for ten books, with more in the pipeline, and I’m published in about fourteen other languages and territories. I’ve been to number 1 in the Kindle UK chart, I’m a Sunday Times bestseller, and I’ve been in the Top 100 US Kindle chart and the Top 50 in Germany.

There have been challenges and setbacks along the way, of course, but I can’t think of anything that ‘didn’t work’. Although I continue to write a few short stories and two-parters, I’ve achieved my ambition of living on the earnings from my novels.

Huge congratulations, but also it is success that is well deserved!

Covid has affected everyone, directly or indirectly. How have you coped with lockdowns and keeping healthy?

I’m lucky that I have a garden and I live near a park. I’ve been able to continue writing because it means going to another place in my head every day, where people hug and kiss and mix freely. That’s not a bad state of mind in which to spend fifty or sixty hours each week. I’ve stuck to the guidelines and kept healthy, thank you. On the downside, my classes at the gym have collapsed, I haven’t seen some of my best friends for ages and I haven’t been able to go abroad. But I’ve been much more comfortably circumstanced than many so I live the best life I can.

What are you working on now?

I’ve just completed the edits for my winter book, Under the Mistletoe, which is set in ‘my’ village of Middledip and features Laurel who left the village when she was sixteen but now has to go back. The reason she left is still living in the village. I’m also in the middle of the first draft of my summer 2022 book. It’s set in France, which I chose because I’ve set a book there before and have my photos and memories for reference. A big park features heavily which, funnily enough, bears quite a resemblance to the one I walk around several times a week. The book’s about blended families and cybercrime. The cybercrime element is stretching my powers of understanding …

What goals do you have for the next five years?

Keep writing, keep selling – and hope I can sell more!
