Rising to the Occasion is my fourth novel - and I had enormous fun writing it. Cathy's work in East London, where she's involved in the regeneration of the Docklands area, was greatly inspired by my sister's work - so thank you for your insights, Julie! If you've read any of my previous novels, you'll know that I don't do trendy characters or locations, but try to write about people who seem very real to me. I love putting contrasting people together in a story, of differing ages, backgrounds and opinions, and seeing how they get on. In Rising to the Occasion, I hope you'll find tension, conflict, fun and warmth in the characters' actions, as they find out more about each other, and themselves. A huge bonus for me in writing this book has been that I have grown to love cricket in recent years - and was able to place a thrilling Ashes series, played out in the historic test grounds of England, as a backdrop to the story. Cathy's developing relationship with her grandfather was very satisfying to explore, and the exhilaration and despondency she experiences on her way to realising where her heart really lies will, I hope very much, keep you entertained.
