Dear blog readers,

I hope you’ve had a good summer (or winter for those in the southern hemisphere).

Since some of you review books on NetGalley, I wanted to let you know that writing as Rose Warner, The Teacher Evacuees, my first historical women’s fiction/British home front saga is now available to request.

Login to NetGalley and request The Teacher Evacuees from my publisher, Canelo, here.

The Teacher Evacuees will only be on NetGalley until September 13, 2025 so you need to be quick with your request. 

I’m honoured that the book has already received some lovely advance praise from authors I respect and admire.

Donna Jones Alward, bestselling author of When the World Fell Silent, calls it a “wartime treasure.”

Maisie Thomas, bestselling author of The Railway Girls series, says it’s “An emotionally satisfying story of new love, unexpected friendships and wartime courage.”

The Teacher Evacuees is out September 25, 2025. Find out more and, if you’re interested, pre-order a copy here.

Paperbacks in North America: Although paperbacks aren’t available to order in North America, if you’d prefer a paperback copy, you can pre-order one from Blackwell’s online (with free delivery worldwide) here. At date of posting, total cost was circa $19.42 CDN/$14.09 US but may change due to currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Audiobook edition

I’m delighted that The Teacher Evacuees is also being recorded as an audiobook narrated by Laurel Lefkow.

With a different but still gorgeous cover, the audiobook edition will be available worldwide on Audible and most other audiobook sites as well as in UK and some other libraries.
