A ROMANTIC Novelist, who lives in Thame, is currently moving fast up the Amazon bestsellers ranking for its Kindle store, with her latest book, Soldiers’  Wives, before it is published in paperback later this month.

Fiona Field, real name, Catherine Jones, live in Thame

This page-turning novel by Fiona Field, who herself joined the army at 18, interweaves the stories of three women getting to grips with military life.

Chrissie, orphaned young, finds solace in her career as a medic in the regiment but, will love for a married man prove her undoing? Maddy, a brilliant Oxford graduate, is bogged down with a fretful baby and a super-ambitious officer husband. Will she be able to stand life as a regimental wife?

And Jenna – glamorous, bad girl Jenna; she doesn’t believe in rules and regulations. Will she destroy her husband’s career? Or will it destroy her?

Fiona Field, joined the army when she was just 18, straight out of her all-girls school. Her first posting was to Bicester. At 21 she married an army bomb disposal expert and at 26 was thrown out of the army for becoming pregnant. Her first child was born at the John Radcliffe hospital Oxford, whilst she and her husband were living in Didcot. Her last posting was to the Joint Air Transport Establishment at RAF Brize Norton.

Fiona understands life as a soldier’s wife and her own son, also a soldier, recently returned from a tour in Afghanistan. She knows the frustrations and difficulties of living with the rules and regulations that have to exist to enable the well-oiled military machine to function. A full time author, Fiona has written sixteen books under the names Kate Lace, Annie Jones and her real name, Catherine Jones. She was Chairman of Romantic Novelists’ Association from 2007 – 2009, during which time she captained the RNA team on University Challenge to the Grand Final. Follow her on twitter @field_fiona.
