Meet B. A. Summer

Sole Brethren: If The Shoe Fits  was my first novel. I conceived the main character Cordelia Tanner in 2012 but I never had the time to write it.  That was until the Covid 19 pandemic lockdowns. Cordelia, her twin brother Rex and their best friend Elodie became my constant companions as I disappeared into the world of House of Tanner and the Weasel Pleasure Gardens.  I enjoyed spending time in this fictious world so much that I am now writing a Sole Brethren series. The sequel to if The Shoe Fits is called Sole Brethren:  Left To Their Own Devices. 

I’m keen on stories with imaginative, magical elements, lovable colourful characters in a community that has a sense of place and makes me want to live there and be friends with the characters. I describe my Sole Brethren novels as ‘glamorous jollity’ which is not yet a recognised genre but should be!  I love pubs and have had some of my best times in boozers around Britain so for Sole Brethren I had to include the Weasel, my perfect but fictitious hostelry, where characters would meet for drinks, food, celebrations, plotting, entertainment, rest & relaxation, flirting, meetings, escape – all the reasons why people go to pubs in real life.

Cordelia, Rex, and Elodie are the central characters and have taken up permanent residency in my head because they are such good company and I wish I could sit in The Weasel and have a glass of Bonheur with them.

See what readers are saying about the Sole Brethren series.

I hope you enjoy reading the Sole Brethren novels and love the characters as much as I do. If you want to be alerted with updates on future books please sign up to my mailing list.
