Nancy, real name Amanda Revell Walton, will be at Waterstones at The Bridges this Thursday, January 29, between 11am and 1pm.
The signing coincides with the publication day of Nancy’s latest release, A Daughter’s Love, and is her 15th book signing at Waterstones Sunderland.
Nancy said: “The first one was in September 2016 and I was welcomed with open arms by book lover and reviewer, Beverley Ann Hopper, who has been a huge support ever since.
“She has single-handedly grown my readership over the years. I can’t believe that time has gone so quickly – nine years and fifteen books. Twelve Shipyard Girls books and three from the Cuthford Manor series.
“This signing will be extra special as it is the first one I have done on the actual day of publication. This might be the last signing for a while, so if people want to bring any other books they want signing, then please do.”
A Daughter’s Love is the third and final instalment in The Cuthford Manor series, which is a spin-off of the hugely-popular The Shipyard Girls series and charts the life of one of the women welders after the end of WW2.
The final installment in the trilogy is set in County Durham in 1953 and tells the story of Lucy who is overwhelmed by grief after the death of her estranged mother. Newly pregnant, she attempts to reconcile with her widowed father.
A Daughter’s Love is already racking up rave reviews.
Round and About Magazine said: “It’s an emotional, richly drawn tale about love, forgiveness, and the ties that bind us – themes that have made Nancy’s work so beloved. From the Shipyard Girls to the Cuthford Manor series, Nancy Revell has built a loyal readership by weaving together history, humanity and hope.
“And with A Daughter’ s Love she reminds us that even in the hardest times, love – of family, of life, of what we do – can light the way forward.”
Meanwhile, the Book Nook section of My Weekly picked A Daughter’s Love as one of its “best new books…. your next riveting read.”
*A DAUGHTER’S LOVE by Nancy Revell will be published on January 29, 2026, (Penguin Paperback £8.99). It can be bought in ASDA (Tickled Pink campaign), Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsburys, Waterstones and Amazon.
