The Last Dance - Bobbie Blandford Book One - Now on Amazon




I'm pleased to announce that The Last Dance, the first in the Bobbie Blandford series, is now available to download from Amazon. The above link takes you to Amazon.co.uk, but it can also be downloaded from local Amazon sites all over the world.


It is 1960 when WPC Bobbie Blandford starts her new job as the only woman at Stony End police station. As she chases down runaway cars, errant teenagers and attempts to investigate the murder of businessman Lionel Mapping, she is unaware that it will raise questions about her father's death and a life that Bobbie had forgotten. What does it all have to do with handsome doctor Leo Stanhope and just who can she trust in a male dominated world?

A difficult catch up post

It seems that my joy at sorting out my own health was to be short lived. I had only just been declared fit when we learned that my husband, Den, has Oesophageal Cancer. He'd had problems swallowing for some time, but refused to go to the doctors until I was sorted out. You can imagine how guilty I feel at the moment, though I've been assured that these things don't happen overnight and it's something he'd have had for a long time before symptoms appeared. We've known about it for a week or two, and I have mentioned it on Facebook, but things have moved so fast, I haven't had a chance to share the news here. I now feel it's time to share it with those of you who perhaps aren't on FB. Den has to have more tests, as they now fear the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes. I Googled that, and wished I hadn't... As you can imagine, it's a very difficult time for us and it isn't over yet. Den is a fighter. Fifteen years ago, he survived an...

In Praise of the Happy Ending

I like a nuanced ending to stories as much as the next person. I’m an intelligent woman so I know that there isn’t always a ‘somewhere over the rainbow’. Neither in real life nor in fiction. Yet nowhere are happy endings more vilified than in romantic fiction. A fellow romance writer recently linked to a review of her novel, which, quite apart from suggesting my colleague was ‘frittering’ away her talents writing romance (talk about damning with faint praise!), also dismissed happy endings in romance, as ‘boring as hell’ (I won’t link to the review as I suspect there’s some subtle trolling going on). As many other romance writers pointed out, no one complains when Poirot gets the killer the end of an Agatha Christie novel. Okay, someone is dead, and others have probably died too. But for the purposes of the sleuth having solved the riddle, it is, to all intents and purposes, a happy ending. The bad guy/girl is punished and the worthy get their reward (usually the fortune ...

Five Years Later

  Five Years Later   It’s been a long time since I blogged. On my last post, I wrote about how my husband, Den, was undergoing treatment for cancer. As you can imagine, fighting that consumed our lives at the time, and whilst I shared a lot with friends on Facebook, I didn’t blog about it. What followed his diagnosis in May 2016 were probably the worst eighteen months of my life. Sadly, despite continuing treatment and his own bravery and determination, I lost the love of my life on 18 th December 2017. Although we lost him a week before Christmas, we vowed to have the big family Christmas lunch he would have loved, and we laughed and smiled for my grandchildren. We said our final goodbyes to him on 4 th January 2018, where I had Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You , and her duet with Kenny Rogers, Islands in the Stream , played at his funeral. He adored Dolly, so it was my way of telling him that she sang for both of us. The crematorium was packed and in lieu of flo...
