I just love!! this Amazon review of The Orchid House so please indulge me
Everything about THE ORCHID HOUSE is lush. The writing, the background, the characters are luxuriant, rich, rampant.
Avril Joy reveals her knowledge of monsoon Sri Lanka and Cornwall in a beautifully written, page-turning love story; Roma’s tropical, tempestuous and tragic relationship with Jack is followed by the meeting with Will, Head Gardener in Trescombe Gardens. Will is a patient man, waiting three years for an exotic orchid to flower as his affair with Roma is played out against the sinister events of the past.
Expect to be enchanted—- ‘There is an enchantment about a September morning when spiders’ webs lace the yew, when the world appears spun in gold.’
Erica Yeoman

I so agree with every word here – see also my comment,.
Also I have just posted also, on Amazon, a review of your great new novella about women in prison. I see that this one is one of a series. You are illuminating so well the empowerment of the Kindle process for the dedicated writer. The new thing – onward and upwards.
Many thanks Wendy – I’m off to read the review of the novella – maybe between us we can illuminate the lives of women in prison a little too
