Belle of the Back Streets

Everyone recognises the cry of Meg Sutcliffe as she plies her trade along the back streets of Ryhope. She learnt the ropes from her dad when he returned from the War.

The Tuppenny Child
Those are the words that haunt Sadie Linthorpe. She is the talk of Ryhope when she arrives there, aged seventeen, alone, seeking work and a home in the pit village.

Pearl of Pit Lane
When her mother dies in childbirth, Pearl Edwards is left in the care of her aunt, Annie Grafton. Annie loves Pearl like her own daughter but it isn't easy to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.

The Girl with the Scarlet Ribbon
When a newborn baby girl is found abandoned with nothing but a scarlet ribbon tied to her basket, Ada Davidson, housekeeper of the wealthy McNally family's home, the Uplands, takes her into her care.

The Paper Mill Girl
Seventeen-year-old Ruth Hardy works long hours at Grange Paper Works, with her younger sister Bea, and spends her free time caring for their ailing parents.

About the Author :

'Amazing novels' - Sharon Marshall, ITV This Morning presenter.
'Such a good writer. She's fantastic!' - Jane Garvey, Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 4.
My historical sagas are set in a British northeast mining village, where I grew up. My books feature feisty females and are wonderfully dramatic, written with a touch of humour. I also write fun, cosy crimes and these are set in modern-day Scarborough on the UK's Yorkshire coast.
I’m a prize-winning short story writer too. My short fiction has appeared in magazines including Take a Break, My Weekly, The People's Friend and The People's Friend Fiction Special. And I am the author of the first ever weekly soap opera, Riverside, for The People's Friend magazine - the longest running women's magazine in the world.
