Gosh, it's been a while since I blogged on here... I blame back-to-school-and-work, and also trying to get my publishing ducks in a row. Anyway, as you can see from the picture, I've been putting things into boxes! The first 3 books in the Pippa Parker Mysteries series are now available in an ebook box set. Originally …
No, not a free frog, I don't have any of those. The ebook of Sherlock Holmes and the Deathly Fog, however, one of my Halloween Sherlock novelettes, is free on all Amazon stores today! Here's the blurb: Who can fight a deathly fog? Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are summoned into the heart of London’s slums by …
The horror story here is that our dishwasher isn't working...other than that, we're good. I'm looking forward to two things this Halloween. One is going trick-or-treating with the kids later - sweeeeeets! The other is taking part in C.L. Monaghan's Halloween takeover event, Midnight Mayhem and Magic, to celebrate the launch of her new book, Midnight …
I've been playing away again, I'm afraid... This time I'm at paranormal author Catherine Green's blog, talking about what inspired my Halloween Sherlock series - which, as usual, was never intended to be a series at all. There's also news about a Halloween takeover I'm participating in as part of the launch for C.L. Monaghan's new book, Midnight …

So, yesterday I pushed the button. Sherlock Holmes and the Deathly Fog, the second instalment in my Halloween Sherlock series (yes, I have decided it's a series), is now available to pre-order, and will launch in September! Just in case the header image on here has done weird things to it, here is the book cover in full: …

Hello all. The sun is shining, the sky is blue and I am feeling smug because I've written 1250 words this morning and started a new book! CampNaNoWriMo has begun. Well, it started yesterday but I was running a poetry and short story event at Stockton Heath festival, so for me today was the day. …
So Camp NaNoWriMo is over for another year. I achieved my modest target of 25,000 words on April 25 (how apt!), finishing Something Blue the next day with just over 28,000 words. Here's the graph: I was aiming for between 25 and 30K, so I'll take that. Once I got started, the writing was fairly easy, …
What ghastly thing is this, shambling up the path? AAAARGH!!! It's NaNoWriMo!!! Nah, I expect I'll quite enjoy it really. Once I get started. I've just been reading my blog posts about last year's NaNoWriMo, which was my first go (if you want to do the same, just click on the NaNoWriMo tag at the …
Look, it's nearly Halloween, cut me some slack here! This story wasn't supposed to happen at all. I was planning to write a nice modern mystery, and in preparation I went to an excellent lecture by Kathryn Harkup called 'A is for Arsenic: The Poisons of Agatha Christie', part of the Daresbury Laboratory Talking Science series (there's …
