British Publisher
Candyfloss Press publishes six authors, and they have very little in common.
Humorous Women’s Fiction
Daisy Penrose writes warm, funny fiction about ordinary women and the unexpected turns their lives take.
Her Life at Paradise Park series is set on a weathered seaside holiday park where everybody knows everybody and life rarely goes according to plan.
In Time-Tangled, Canterbury curiosity shop owner Mitzi Spinelli discovers that some of her stock can transport her into the past. Her travels lead her into the lives of women history left out.
British Cosy Mystery
Kitty Brookstone writes British cosy mysteries with a slightly different view of where cosy can happen.
Her Fame & Fortune Mysteries follow faded 1980s pop star Ron Ashcroft and his wife Eva through television studios, celebrity parties, comeback tours and, inevitably, murder.
The Red Lion Mysteries move the cosy into a well-worn South London pub, where a mixed urban community finds real mysteries rather closer to home.
High-Heat Monster Romcom
Suki Strange writes high-heat British monster romantic comedies with mature heroines and heroes who are not, strictly speaking, human.
Monsters of Margate is set in a seaside town where monsters live and work alongside their human neighbours and nobody thinks very much of it. Unless, of course, somebody falls in love with one.
Expect high heat, plenty of humour and a happy ending every single time.
Anglo-Irish Family Saga & Historical Women’s Fiction
Breda Stewart writes Anglo-Irish family sagas about women, families and the lives they build.
Maureen’s story follows one Irish woman from 1960s Cork to 1990s London across three names, three decades and nine novels.
Romantic Fiction
Pippa Kine writes warm, funny romantic fiction about ordinary people finding love in the middle of ordinary life.
Her Crossed Wires series is set in Saltwick-on-Sea, where wrong numbers, crossed signals and unexpected connections bring strangers together.
The School Gate series centres on Northgate Primary School and the lives, friendships and relationships that meet at its gates every day.
Retro Cosy Thrillers
Vivienne Knox writes glamorous, witty thrillers about women, espionage, power and influence.
The Velvet Intelligence follows West End actress Harriet Shaw and the Behn Circle from the late 1960s to 1985.
The Art of Influence carries the story into the 1990s as Imogen Hale takes over the Circle and power finds new places to operate.
