Meet the Author: Anita Faulkner

Gloucester

Dates: 08/11/2025

Venue: Longlevens Library

Wrap yourself in a chunky knit scarf, listen to the crunching of leaves underfoot, and breathe in the aroma of a fresh pumpkin pie. Anita Faulkner's latest novel, You Had Me at Pumpkin Patch, will transport you to a farm in the Cotswolds at the crisp turning of the year.



Rosie's life is not turning out as planned. She dreams of becoming a novelist, but she's lost her writing job to an AI chatbot and discovered her boyfriend cheating …

Rosie sets off for a fresh start, only for her car to break down at Autumn Meadows Farm in the Cotswolds, where she is mistaken for a job applicant and finds herself planning 'Pumpkin Retreats' to save the farm from developers.

Embracing farm life, Rosie rediscovers her passion for writing – and begins to fall for the gruff but undeniably handsome pumpkin farmer, Zain. But when Rosie learns Zain has been using the same AI chatbot that replaced her to plan their dates and script romantic lines, her happiness is threatened.

Can Rosie and Zain patch up their differences to write their own happy ending?



ANITA FAULKNER writes warm and witty romcoms from her upcycled bureau near the Cotswolds.

Described by her agent Kate Nash as ‘a sparkling new voice,’ Anita loves dreaming up quirky characters and extremely awkward dates.

Her debut novel A Colourful Country Escape was shortlisted for two Romantic Novelists’ Association awards. It was followed by The Gingerbread Café – which is too delicious to be missed.

Anita is thrilled that her third romcom, You Had Me at Pumpkin Patch, published by HQ Digital, is brand new for autumn 2025. It’s packed with the same warmth and wit – and a whole lot of pumpkins.

When Anita’s not writing, she’s busy coaching other writers, running her fiction writers’ membership, Writers’ Dream House, and celebrating books in her Facebook group, Chick Lit and Prosecco.
