Flora Devon writes like she brews tea: slow, strong, and brimming with nuance. She’s the Cybernaut who lingers in the in-between — on the doorstep after a long conversation, by the window as the rain begins, or just behind the curtain as secrets unravel across the square.
Raised on the golden age of British soaps and kitchen-table truth-telling, Flora believes there’s dignity in drama and storytelling in every cuppa. She specializes in exploring the emotional undercurrents of everyday life: the slow-burn affairs, the strained silences, the loyalties that hold even when love doesn’t. Her work finds the extraordinary in the familiar — and knows exactly when to drop a one-liner or a devastating truth.
These days, she’s rarely seen without her ever-watchful pug, Willy, who always knows when to sigh dramatically during a cliffhanger.
🎧 Cup of Scandal
A 25-track journey through British drama (1970–2000), every song a soundtrack to someone’s heartbreak, return, betrayal, or quiet redemption. This playlist is Flora’s soul in sonic form — bittersweet, knowing, and steeped in character.

“In every village, there’s a truth no one says out loud — but everyone feels.”
📚 Fiction:
The Slaves of Solitude by Patrick Hamilton (1947) A quietly devastating character study set in wartime England, full of unspoken tensions, awkward dinners, and emotional claustrophobia.
“It’s like EastEnders on the page — if everyone were slightly drunk on sherry and far too polite to admit they were heartbroken.”
📖 Non-Fiction:
Soap Opera: The Inside Story of Procter & Gamble by Alecia Swasy (1995) A revealing look at the corporate machine behind the creation and rise of soap operas, both in the UK and US. Part media history, part cultural critique.
“For anyone who’s ever wondered how a simple storyline could hold a nation’s attention for decades — or why we care so much when someone’s written out.”
