I do like a box set... As the Mrs Hudson & Sherlock Holmes series is now complete (I'm not saying there won't be spinoffs, mind), I decided it made sense to offer a box set. For Kindle Unlimited readers, the whole series takes up one slot instead of 3, and for ebook buyers, it's the …

'You can't judge a book by its cover' is a saying you've probably heard many times, but I firmly believe that most people do - me included! While I was writing A Spider's Web, book three in my Mrs Hudson and Sherlock Holmes series, I made a decision to get new covers for the series. …
We finally got round to watching Cruella last weekend. We had thought of seeing the film when it first came out and paying for priority access, but I had suggested that we wait, since I wasn’t sure whether we'd like it. As it turns out, we really enjoyed it. When I looked on Wikipanion later, …

Today’s blog is slightly different from the norm, as I'm embarking on something slightly bigger. I’m writing a bigger book. This probably doesn’t sound that big a deal, but to me it feels like one! So I thought I’d write about it, just in case anyone else: feels the same way is thinking about writing …

It's been a looooong time in the making, but here, finally, is the sequel to A House of Mirrors - In Sherlock's Shadow! Why did it take me so long? Well, there are a few reasons. A House of Mirrors was my first proper full-length book, and people seemed to like it quite a lot. So I was, …
Please forgive the pun-tastic title, but I can’t help it. You see, it's November, NaNoWriMo month, and other people are posting on social media and blogging about their super word counts and how far they’ve got with their stories and how they feel it’s all coming together. Normally at this stage of the year, I’d …
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.
