*Does cartwheel of excitement* The fifth book in my Churchminster series is finally out! In the words of the great Miranda Hart I had SUCH fun writing it and I hope you love reading it. Which characters will float your boat this time?

Will be the lovely CARO and the beautiful BENEDICT, who’d do anything for the woman he loves?

How about feisty CALYPSO? Will she find the man she keeps declaring she doesn’t want?

And what about new girl KIZZY? Can she ever penetrate the heart of the brooding JAVIER, the gorgeous ex Olympic dressage rider with a dark and tragic past?

Ooh, I might have to go back and read it myself now! Enjoy. jxx

Fantastic is all I can say brought Country Pursuits and Horse Play as a double pack and it wasn’t until after a few chapters into Horse Play that I realised that there are three books in-between but that’s fine because I loved both books and can’t wait to go and buy the other three, was wondering if there are going to be any more in the series and if so I hope there will be a further catch up with Kizzy and Javier and also Calypso and Archie and mu god don’t think I could take and more heartache for poor Caro lol I loved the books amazing keep up the good work x

Hi Florence,

Thank you so much for your wonderful message. I’m truly flattered and it’s very gratifying to hear you think I’ve done a good job. I hope your situation is happier now and I wish you all the best for the future. Good luck with the writing! I’d LOVE to extend the S-F clan so watch this space! Best Wishes, Jo x

Just finished Horse Play- Absolutely loved it!! Best of the 5 yet! As a writer myself, your style is similar to mine- funky, fun, brilliant. We recently experienced something very similar to Caro’s nightmare- unjust, horrific & the unbelieveable vortex of a system that sucks the innocent in while they are left to pray for the truth to liberate them. I wish to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart for your entirely accurate, extremely comprehensive & thoroughly heartfelt description of the crippling emotions involved throughout such a harrowing trauma as that of the threat of the loss of one’s child through no fault of one’s own. Your impressive ability of highlighting a serious issue while mixing it amongst lively, wacky, fun characters deserves a medal! PS Love all the S-Fs- want them to have many more babies & continue the family tree in many directions!! Merci beaucoup!
