INTRODUCTION
A very warm welcome to Whitsborough Bay! Thank you so much for choosing the Welcome to Whitsborough Bay box set consisting of four books:
Book 1 – Making Wishes at Bay View
Book 2 – New Beginnings at Seaside Blooms
Book 3 – Finding Hope at Lighthouse Cove
Book 4 – Coming Home to Seashell Cottage
I have some extra content – my Boxset Bonuses – just for you which the readers of the individual books don’t receive: An insight into the fictional world of Whitsborough Bay and the real-life places on the North Yorkshire Coast that inspired it A key scene from each book being told from the perspective of the hero instead of the heroine. I’ve deliberately placed this Boxset Bonus at the back of each book so there are no spoilers while you’re reading! Some ‘Whitsborough Bay Wonderings’ – questions that you could discuss at a book club, with friends, or just ponder upon yourself
So let’s start with the creation of Whitsborough Bay…
In the reviews for my books, a recurring comment is about the setting. Readers seem to love the fictional North Yorkshire seaside town of Whitsborough Bay. Those who are familiar with the Yorkshire Coast feel like they’re back in their favourite places, and those who haven’t visited the area talk about how they’d love to sniff the sea air, wander round the Old Town and shop on Castle Street. Readers who’ve read several books mention the excitement of being back in the warm and familiar setting. Whitsborough Bay is what my books are all about.
Yet, when I started writing, Whitsborough Bay didn’t exist. I didn’t actually have a setting at all. I had a vague notion that I would probably set my books in ‘the north’. Somewhere. No idea where.
So for someone with no setting at all, how did Whitsborough Bay become so synonymous with my writing?
It started when I met my husband, Mark, about nine months after I’d had the idea for my debut novel. I was running a specialist teddy bear shop in Richmond, North Yorkshire, at the time and tentatively trying to write a few chapters between customers although, if I’m honest, I was floundering. I had a great premise and some solid characters but I had no idea how to turn that into an engaging novel. And a massive problem was that the vague ‘northern’ setting wasn’t working for me. There was no sense of the sights, smells, sounds or the community.
Mark lived in Scarborough and, after visiting him a couple of times, I realised I’d found my perfect setting. Or rather the inspiration for my perfect setting because I decided quite early on that I would not use a real place because of the limitations that can bring. In a real place, I couldn’t just make up a building, landscape or road to suit my needs; I’d have to use what existed. I was also worried about someone knowing Scarborough well and pulling me up on inaccuracies and, of course, things changing over time resulting in my books becoming out of date. So I created the fictional town of Whitsborough Bay – a blend of Scarborough, Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay in both look, feel, and name.
Scarborough has two bays – North Bay and South Bay – which are separated by a castle on the cliff top. Both bays boast popular beaches but have a very different look and feel. South Bay is more commercial with arcades, chippies and typical seaside gift shops whereas North Bay has a calmer vibe with the colourful beach huts, the Sealife Centre, Open Air Theatre and Peasholm Park. Whitsborough Bay matches Scarborough’s basic geography.
Many of the businesses and attractions I use in my books are based on real ones but with different names and occasionally different locations. Big attractions like Scarborough’s Sealife Centre became the Sea Rescue Sanctuary and Peasholm Park became Hearnshaw Park. However, anyone familiar with the area can make a good guess as to which café, pub or shop I’m being inspired by.
When I saw the cover for Making Wishes at Bay View, I fell in love with it immediately and wanted to use it, but there was a moment’s hesitation because it clearly shows a river and Whitsborough Bay doesn’t have a river. Then I laughed at myself for putting up a barrier that didn’t need to exist. After all, Whitsborough Bay is a figment of my imagination and there was absolutely nothing stopping me from adding in a river if I wanted a river. So I did. With a huge nod to the gorgeous coastal resort of Whitby up the road, I added in a river below the castle on the South Bay side of Whitsborough Bay, over which I placed a swing bridge. I could never have done that if I’d used a real-life setting.
Set back from South Bay in Scarborough is the Old Town – an eclectic mix of styles of old cottages, townhouses and guest houses. Whitsborough Bay has the same except there’s a river running through the Old Town now; an area that I see as a blend of many towns along the coast with their old quirky properties.
In Scarborough, the town centre is set back from the coast, which is mirrored in Whitsborough Bay too. The second book in the Welcome to Whitsborough Bay series, New Beginnings at Seaside Blooms, is set in a florists’ shop on Castle Street. Several of my books – including all my Christmas ones – are set on Castle Street which I describe as a cobbled street full of independent shops and cafés. I imagine it being positioned where Scarborough’s Bar Street is but the inspiration for the look and the buzz of Castle Street is very much an amalgamation of Bar Street and the gorgeous cobbled streets of Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay, which are packed with independently-run businesses. Having been an independent retailer for a couple of years myself, I’ve been able to bring in my knowledge and experiences of the highs, the lows, and the supportive community that can build (or the lack of support that can fester) among independent retailers.
I have lived in Scarborough since 2004 and am a regular visitor to Whitby and the surrounding towns and villages. I feel so lucky to live here, close to the sea and surrounded by countryside. I think this passion for my local area does come across in my books. I’m very excited about the addition of the river to Whitsborough Bay as the cogs are alrea
