The village of Brytewood in Surrey is the setting for my new series.

You won't actually find Brytewood on any map of SE England, but the inhabitants are too busy coping with war and disruption to worry about a mere detail like that.

The first book opens in September 1940. Brytewood is in the path of the looming invasion, chock full of evacuees, and missing most of its young men, but everyone is coping and making do and mending.

To a casual observer Brytewood seems like any other village in that part of the country, but watch carefully. Some of the inhabitants have secrets of their own.
