WELCOME TO MAPTON ON SEA
Tucked along the British coast, Mapton might look like your typical seaside town… but beneath the ice creams, donkey rides, and tourists lies a community bursting with secrets, rivalries, and more than a little mayhem.
At the centre of it all is Gina Pontin — outspoken, unpredictable, and rarely wrong (in her own opinion). Whether she’s organising protests, planning a wedding, feuding with neighbours, or taking on anyone who dares disrupt her version of “how things should be done,” Gina has a habit of turning everyday life into full-blown drama.
Around her swirls a cast of unforgettable characters: her returning granddaughter, reluctant romantics, meddling locals, troublesome teens, and more than a few badly behaved animals. As friendships shift, tensions rise, and loyalties are tested, Mapton proves time and again that small towns have the biggest stories.
Warm, sharp, and laugh-out-loud funny, the Mapton-on-Sea series is perfect for readers who love character-driven stories, community mayhem, and humour with a little bite.
Perfect for fans of feel-good fiction with personality — where the laughs are real, the characters are unforgettable, and the drama is never far from the promenade.
Once you visit Mapton, you’ll want to come back again and again.
