'The Welsh Marches is an evocative place. Full of mystery, history, and tiny old houses, it leads easily into Wales - a perfect place to write and to set romantic novels with mysteries and crimes embedded in them.'
This is how Wilma summarises the inspiration for her four novels in the Welsh Marches series and the forty-nine short stories which follow and make up Sevens, Stories to Commute By.
Luckily for her, she was able to escape to this scenic area and begin to write. It is not a gift that many people are given, but with a tiny cottage of her own, an accompanying cottage garden and a husband who is handy with a computer and a coffee pot, the opportunity was too good to ignore.

Secrets, Lies and Legacies (formerly published in print as Things I Haven't Told You)
Mary and Tim seem to have a perfect relationship. But everyone has secrets - haven't they?
Mary, a former school teacher, decides to go back to work - as a builder. As the only woman on site, she has some challenges to meet but learns quickly. Tim, a structural engineer who would much prefer to be on a building site, is unemployed - a house husband. Then his mother finds out. She is a domineering person who takes an instant dislike to Mary and works to destroy the relationship - 'for Tim's sake'.
A mystery from Tim's family threatens to destabilise their newly found love for each other and the wider family relations even further. Tensions escalate. Somehow Mary has to find out why there is such a powerful demand for her attention in the walled vegetable garden. She finds tiny glimpses into the past and knows she must widen the search. Then Tim tells her why his mother is so hostile. It runs deeper than it seems.
Mary hasn't been entirely forthcoming about her family either and there are new pressures, financial this time.
In order to meet these new challenges, she must first get Tim to admit that she must resolve the mystery and then they have to survive their controlling, dishonest and unstable parents, a sudden marriage, a new baby, a flood, a possible murder and a new professional venture for them both.
But then there are the children, one grown up and the other not...
This is the second in the Welsh Marches series. The first book Freeing My Sisters begins the tale and a third, Red Snow tells the true story.
