Novels By Fiona Scarlett:

May All Your Skies Be Blue:

An unforgettable story of love and loss and how the ones we love never really leave us.

Boys Don’t Cry

‘They say boys don't cry.

But Finn's seen his Da do it when he thinks no one's looking, so that's not true.

And isn't it OK to be sad, when bad things happen?’
