Catherine King's 5th novel was released on March 4th. This would be a perfect gift for Mother's Day.

It tells the story of Quinta Haig who is struggling to make ends meet.  The small Yorkshire farm she shares with her ailing mother is run down but, even at fifteen, Quinta is prepared to do almost anything to survive .

A Mother's Sacrifice is a powerful tale of dedication and sacrifice in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds and makes for excellent reading.

Starting Over is out on the 30th November 2009. It has been in W H Smith’s airport and train station shops for about three weeks – and is doing well. It’s at number 12 in their chart! In the middle week it was their top romance/general title, outselling Cecilia Aherne and Elizabeth Noble. In fact, the only female writers who outsold Starting Over that week were Patricia Cornwell, Audrey Niffenegger and P D James. Sales are holding up and they have reordered.

Quite an achievement!

Sue has also just completed the copy edits for Love Writing – How to Make Money Writing Romantic or Erotic Fiction which is due to come out on 4th January 2010.
