Love on an Island flower farm

Back in spring last year we were contacted by the author Phillipa Ashley with a research request.  Phillipa was writing a new book in her, 'Little Cornish Isles' series and her plan was to set her next book on an Isles of Scilly flower farm.  We occasionally get odd requests but this one definitely rated on the intrigue scale.  After establishing that Phillipa wasn't after the ins and outs of anyone's love life but just technical information about growing flowers on Scilly we offered to help.  Then in late summer Phillipa came to to see us in person,  the first time I have given a farm tour tailored to the needs of a romantic novelist. 

The book - Spring on the Little Cornish Isles, will be available from February the 19th on Kindle and out in paperback in April and can be ordered now through Amazon.

Phillipa Ashley is the author of the best-selling Cornish Cafe series. Before she became a full-time writer, she studied English at Oxford and worked as a copywriter and journalist. As Pippa Croft, Phillipa also writes as the Oxford Blue series which is published by Penguin Books.
