Carole Williams

Carole Williams grew up in Norfolk before moving to Wiltshire, Oxford, South Wales and then Leeds in West Yorkshire. Always an avid reader, especially of historical family sagas, she has always wanted to write but never found the time until the last few years.

The Canleigh series; Rejection Runs Deep, Delia's Daughter and Katrina, were inspired by her time working as a Secretary at a Yorkshire stately home. Her next series, Peesdown, which is based in the fictional suburb of Leeds, featuring Miranda, the popular, bubble local petsitter, is inspired by fifteen years of running her own petsitting business and pounding beautiful Roundhay Park, Temple Newsam, Golden Acre, Meanwood and the gorgeous local woods with groups of lovely dogs.

Carole is now retired (?) and lives in Warminster, Wiltshire with her black Labrador.

A selection of some of the reviews for Rejection Runs Deep:

'Wow. One of those books that once you get into it, you can't put down. The family at Canleigh Hall have one hell of a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. Great glimpses of the Yorkshire stately homes and countryside mingled with murder, love, sex and yes, rejection! A Yorkshire Dallas. I can just visualise it on the tv as a drama. More books to follow I understand. I can't wait.'

'This is the best book I've read this year! It's one of those books you can't put down and don't get anything else done. It's fast-paced and dramatic with twists and turns and very well written. I can't wait for the next book to come out. Excellent.'

'A brilliant read! I have lost interest in recent books partway through but not a chance with this one! I excitedly looked forward to opening my Kindle each day on the bus to work to read the next chapter. The book draws you into the world of this family and you just want to keep reading. Highly recommend. I look forward to Carole's next book.'

'Amazing! So many twists and turns, definitely make it one of your holiday reads. I couldn't put the book down wondering what Lady Delia was going to do next, finding myself wanting to scream at her and hug the rest of the family.'

'Wow, what a gripping read! Excellently written. I can't wait for the sequel.'

'Excellent read. I was gripped from the first chapter. There seemed to be a cliffhanger at the end of every chapter. Highly recommended to all.'
