Lighting the Sky : Book Five of the Coming Back to Cornwall Series

"I LOVE this book. It flowed perfectly from beginning to end. I couldn’t put it down."
All is set to change for Alice and Sam as they expect their first child together. Just how they are going to fit themselves, their baby and Sam’s daughter Sophie into their little two-bed cottage is a mystery, but Alice is determined not to get stressed out.
Her focus is on best friend Julie, who is trying unsuccessfully for a baby, and on Sophie, who is torn between staying in Cornwall with Sam, or moving to Devon with her mum. Then there are Alice’s parents, who don’t seem happy with their own move to Cornwall, and Jonathan, who also appears to be falling out of love with life there.
At least work is going well, with a glowing review of Amethi in Staycation magazine, and the possibility of picking up some tourism awards. But it should be no surprise when life throws a couple more challenges in the way.
Can Alice really survive her pregnancy stress-free, and can her friendship with Julie survive the strain of the differing situations they now find themselves in?
Preceded by A Second Chance Summer, After the Sun, As Boundless as the Sea and Sticks and Stones, this much-anticipated fifth book will not disappoint. As we travel through a long, cold winter, from the solstice to Christmas and into new year, the emphasis is on fresh starts and new beginnings. An inspirational read.

Something About the Stars continues the story and, for those who are interested, book seven is underway!

Katharine E. Smith is the author of eight novels, including the Coming Back to Cornwall series. She is also the founder of Heddon Publishing, working with independent publishers across the globe.
 
A graduate in Philosophy, Katharine initially worked in the IT and charity sectors. She turned to freelance editing in 2009, when she also became a mother, and completed the first draft of Writing the Town Read. It took a further five years to find the confidence to edit and self-publish this first book.
 
In the meantime, the amount and nature of the freelance work developed, as did Katharine's understanding and experience of the world of independent publishing. The natural next step was to create Heddon Publishing. Katharine has worked with 50+ independent and hybrid authors to develop and produce their work, from fiction to non-fiction and from children's books to dark, distinctly adult tales.
 
She has also had a second child, and written and published seven more novels, with the Coming Back to Cornwall series the greatest success of her writing career to date.
 
Katharine lives in Shropshire with her husband and their two children.
