Marianne Crichton

I have had the absolute privilege of being the ‘Mum Mum’ of two Border Terrier boys…Hamish who sadly passed away in 2021 and now Archie who he sent to us to mend our hearts ♥️
When writing my very first book - New Beginnings at The Buckley Hotel - it was therapeutic and healing to include Hamish as a ‘character’ in the story 📕
In my second book - Christmas at The Buckley Hotel - Archie also joins the team.
My books are cosy, light hearted and easy to read…the kind of book I like to read myself.

Jade Lee Wright

I’m Jade Lee Wright, psychological thriller author.

Although I first dipped my toe into the world of publishing with two self-published novels, I’ve spent the past few years fully immersing myself in the craft. I study English Literature and Creative Writing through the Open University and have since gone on to sign multiple publishing deals—including a two-book deal (and a brand-new follow-up two-book contract!) with Joffe Books.

My debut psychological thriller with them, The Baby Group, was released in July 2025, and my second, The Family Secret, is due out in January 2026. Both have been snapped up by Audible and will be coming to audio soon.

I was longlisted for the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize 2025 and shortlisted for the 2024 Marlowe & C

G.D. Wright

My name is Gary (pen name G.D. Wright) and I live in Kent with my wife and two young children.

I joined Kent Police at the age of 18, working on the front line in a variety of uniformed roles until the age of 29 when, completely out of the blue, I suffered two cardiac ‘events’, and was subsequently diagnosed with a hereditary and incurable disease of the heart (arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy if you’re being fussy!). As a result, I had an internal defibrillator implanted in me, and I had to retire from the police aged 30.

One door closed, but another opened, and my wife and I bought a coffee shop in Ramsgate Harbour. We spent eight of the happiest years of our lives there but, when the kiddies came along, it just wasn’t sustai

Rowan Croft

Rowan Croft is an American-born romcom enthusiast now thriving in picturesque Cornwall after finding her own happily ever after in the UK. When she’s not chasing caffeine-fuelled inspiration, she’s busy in the publishing world as a graphic designer, diving into a good book, or simply enjoying day-to-day life alongside her hunky British husband, bubbly daughter, and Milo, her delightfully moody Jack Russell.

She writes the kind of romance she loves to read—full of quick-witted banter, undeniable chemistry, and just the right amount of chaos. For her, there’s nothing better than a love story that keeps you laughing, swooning, and maybe yelling at the characters to just kiss already.
