STOP PRESS!

RUBY by MARIE MAXWELL (aka Bernardine Kennedy) will be published next year. More news to follow.
Bernardine's previous books will all be available on Kindle very shortly. Date to follow.

RUBY, which will be published in March 2012, is the first in a series of four local sagas set in and around the seaside resort of Southend-on-Sea in Essex in the 40s, 50s and 60's.
They were commissioned by my new publisher Avon Harper Collins and will all be written by my alter-ego Marie Maxwell. (She's very much like me in her writing style and hopes all the BK fans will enjoy the new books!)
Fingers crossed I can manage the change of genre alongside the change of name. A huge leap of faith for both AvonHC and me.
I'll keep you posted and let you know when Marie Maxwell has her own website and as soon as there's a cover I'll put it up. There was recently a photo shoot for all the covers but I haven't seen them yet!
