Market Forces in Gretna Green
Was published six weeks early on November 1st 2024.
Book Description
OK, I admit it. I didn’t think it through when I kidnapped the king. But it seemed like a good idea at the time—even Rollo agreed.
Cut me some slack? The idiotic Galician emperor’s latest act of cowardice coming at the same time as the life changes my best mate was juggling—so badly—had thrown me off balance.
Aysha’s always been my rock. But now I can’t be hers because she doesn’t need a rock—other than to the head. She needs encouragement to make her own changes. Admittedly, Ad’Rian’s “teensy little spell” encouraged her more forcefully than I would ever have had the nerve to.
Because I’ve been busy myself. The Recorders’ Office has had a problem for 400 years and I’m determined to fix it—before next weekend would be good.
And there’s another small problem … for the first time, I realised most of my confidence in my new role came from Dola. Now she’s not available for a few days, so I have to stand on my own feet and, much more worryingly, make my own coffee.
Welcome to my world. Grab a drink—you’re going to need it and without Dola, I don’t have time to offer you one.

What readers are saying
The best book I read last year!
No idea what I’m going to do with myself while I wait for the next one 😢
Just a rollicking story with great characters, a really gripping plot (and) a sense of joy underlying every word

Reviews for Market Forces in Gretna Green
“This series gets better with each book! I binge read them and now I could cry at the thought of waiting till December for the next one!
As always, I couldn’t put it down. Great fun. Such a lot happening. I always feel better after reading your books.
The characters are well thought out and engaging and the storyline is far more interesting and complex than a lot of books of a similar genre.”
Praise for the Midlife Recorder Series
You know you have found a great author when you really care what happens to their characters, human or otherwise.
Gripped from the first page and couldn’t put it down … gutted when I reached the end
A page turner. Cannot wait for the next instalment.
Fast read with lots of laugh-out-loud moments. I’m breathlessly awaiting the next book.
This is the kind of story that makes you want to take off work early so you can keep reading it.
It’s so refreshing having mature characters, racial/ethnic diversity, LGBT acceptance, great writing, and fresh ideas all together. Technology mixed with magic is such an interesting concept.
This was the strangest book, not what I expected at all. It was heart-warming, unpredictable and the characters already feel like friends.
I was so sad to finish it and then delighted when I realized there were more in the series.”
The thing I found hardest to believe? That it was the author’s first book! Why, oh why didn’t she start writing forty years ago??
