Portrait photo of Louise Candlish

Hello and welcome to my website. This is the best place to find out about me and my books, including my new novel Other People's Secrets. I shall try very hard to entertain you with my blog, so do keep coming back for a look. I'm not saying you won't know how you lived before it, but it will be nice to share a moment together now and then! Oh, and if you have any comments about my books or anything else, please drop me a line.

Louise Candlish signature

Bleary-eyed

Hello, this is just a quick post to apologise to those awaiting replies from me to comments on this site and to emails generally – I’ve had a bit of a rough time lately and am officially Very Behind with correspondence and niceties! In short: three days into a family holiday in Greece last week I began to go blind in my right eye and after a hellish 24 hours of tearing about the mainland and being admitted to Athens Hospital, we made a dash for the airport and got me to Moorfields A&E. I had emergency surgery on Thursday and now have fingers crossed for the recovery of at least some sight. The good news is that already it is creeping back in a faint, achy, kinky-edged kind of way. I’ll know on September 6th if I need further surgery and if/when normal life can resume. So please bear with me and send fond thoughts to my sickbed, where I am actually very comfortably ensconced with flowers, Radio 4, French fancies and the kind of sleeping patterns familiar to anyone with a ageing cat. Love Lou x

Publication fun

A big thank you for your messages of good luck and congratulations for the publication of Other People’s Secrets - I celebrated at Sandhurst Library with the lovely team there, who made Dorothy Koomson and I very welcome (giving us strawberries dipped in chocolate, no less!) If you live near any of the following places, do book a ticket to see us on our continuing mini-tour:

Weds 21 July Crawley Library

Weds 4 August Uxbridge Library

Weds 11 August Canary Wharf Library

Meanwhile, don’t forget to email me and let me know what you think of the book. Did you guess the secrets? Who was your favourite character? Have you entered the competition to win a holiday in the Italian Lakes?

Have a great weekend (I will be supporting Holland in the World Cup Final!) x

Rabbiting on…

Well hello, July, month of Wimbledon finals, school holidays and MY birthday! With publication of Other People’s Secrets just a few days away, I seem to be gabbing away non-stop at the moment about the Sale and the Trustlove families in their Lake Orta hideaway. Here I am talking (in a somewhat caffeinated fashion) to the very lovely Sarah at BookRabbit:

Enjoy! And do check back soon for confirmed dates of a couple of August events with Dorothy Koomson (see our July dates on previous post)…
