Bridford Born Author’s First Novel – Fox Halt Farm

Fox Halt Farm by Celia Moore

Celia Moore was born at Westcott Farm (although she moved around and now lives in Longdown) and will shortly be self-publishing her first novel. ‘Set over two decades with a backdrop of atmospheric Dartmoor, Fox Halt Farm is a fast paced and compelling romance. Billy, the girl from the struggling Devon family farm falls into the contrasting world of London life. The intense and moving story starts on a cliff edge. Betrayal, love and desperate secrets tear at your heart as you find yourself ‘fighting’ with Billy to save herself – and her beloved family home.’ Fox Halt Farm is set near Okehampton.

Celia remembers her time in Bridford fondly and has a treasured old photo of her day with his two plough horses, Blossom and Pleasant.  He used to work the horses on the rocky fields there. He could plough up to an acre a day and Blossom and Pleasant always knew to stop if the plough was about to hit one of the many rocks sticking out of the ground.

Fox Halt Farm will be published on 1st November and will be available on Amazon or Kindle or alternatively, directly from Celia ([email protected]).
