Katie Ginger has become a staple in the romantic comedy world , and her newest novel The Secrets Of Meadow Farmhouse is just the latest offering in a plethora of lighthearted and gloriously romantic tales that will whisk you off your feet and transport you into another world . This exceedingly amusing and heart-warming novel , which is based on Katie ' s incredible personal experience discovering her own family ’ s secret history of forbidden love , is a true delight to read . The light and airy writing makes protagonist Amelia Williams relatable and believable , with some paragraphs dancing off the page , creating the picturesque world inside Meadow Farmhouse .
What made you want to write romcoms for a contemporary audience ? I ’ ve always loved reading romance and for a long time would read books by Jenny Colgan and Wendy Holden and wish it was my name on the cover and my words on the page . They always managed to evoke such a feeling of escape that I became slightly addicted ! That ’ s what really made me want to write contemporary , uplifting fiction .
How do you develop a spark of an idea into fleshed out novels ? The simple answer is , with lots of notes ! For me , plotting the novel is one of the best bits . I get to delve deep into who these characters are and what they want . By doing that I find out if I ’ ve got enough story for a novel or if it should be something shorter .
Look out for The Secrets Of Meadow Farmhouse available for purchase from 17th March from www . amazon . co . uk .
