To celebrate the shiny new covers I’ve put on the Pippa Parker Mysteries humorous mystery series, the first book, Murder at the Playgroup, is just 99c/99p in ebook from Friday 10-Thursday 16 June (US/UK only, I’m afraid, but the book is also available in Kindle Unlimited).

In which I go on a (sort of) workcation!

Workcation, it has to be said, is a grim-sounding word. Why would anyone run those two concepts together? However, I read an interview with Holly Worton on the Creative Penn website which mentioned the concept, and decided that it might be worth a go. I have a project which I’ve been meaning to get on

It’s (nearly) Kindlemas!

For the last few years I’ve put together some ebook offers to run over the Christmas and New Year period. After all, once you’ve bought and wrapped all the presents, done all the prep and cooked the holiday dinner, you deserve to put your feet up and treat yourself with a book or two! So

The best of both worlds: Past Tense launches on 30 June!

I seem to have been busier than usual lately. I’m not sure if this is because I have been, or if it just seems that way. But anyhow, I haven’t quite got round to a proper marketing effort for Pippa Parker book 6, Past Tense, which launches next Tuesday, 30 June. Past Tense was an

#EscapeWithABook: Pippa Parker 1-3 Box Set

Back to the discounts! I’ve completely forgotten which week it is of #EscapeWithABook, in which I run a discount on a different ebook every week. This week it’s the turn of Pippa Parker Cozy Mysteries Box Set, which includes the first three Pippa Parker mysteries: Murder At The Playgroup, Murder In The Choir and A Fete

#EscapeWithABook Week 5: Murder in the Choir

It’s Week 5 of #EscapeWithABook, in which I run a discount on a different ebook every week. Each book is 99p/99c (UK/US only, because of how Amazon run their discount system). In addition, almost all my books are in Kindle Unlimited, so if you are a subscriber, you can read over 20 of my books that way.

#EscapeWithABook Week 4: Murder at the Playgroup

It’s Week 4 (already?) of #EscapeWithABook, in which I run a discount on a different ebook every week. Each book is 99p/99c (UK/US only, because of how Amazon run their discount system). In addition, almost all my books are in Kindle Unlimited, so if you are a subscriber, you can work through the lot – if you

When one of your characters sneaks off and does an interview without you…

The first I heard about this was when Matt Ferraz, a fellow mystery author, contacted me: ‘Did you know they’ve been talking?’ ‘Who’s been talking?’ As it turns out, my amateur sleuth Pippa Parker popped round to Matt’s sleuth Grandma Bertha for a cup of tea (or maybe something stronger), and this interview was the

Free book, cheap book, and two book fairs to explore!

It’s like buses – you think you’ve scheduled various things with decent gaps between them, and only later do you realise that actually they’re all coming along together. Or maybe that’s just me. Anyway, here are some offers I have going on today and for the next few days: One of my Halloween Sherlock novelettes, Sherlock Holmes

Camp NaNoWriMo – nearly there!

It’s day 22 in the Camp NaNoWriMo house, and things are going surprisingly well. Could it be… (cue sharp intake of breath) too well? My project for Camp NaNoWriMo is Pippa Parker book 5, The QWERTY Murders. I’m fairly sure I wrote book 4, Murder in the Meadow, at the same time last year, quite possibly also
