See next bleet for a quick and easy way to read this wonderful review by @thebooklorefairy.bsky.social "The thing I love about this series is the wholesome, almost slice-of-life feel of events; they are not just dire, but also heartwarming, inspiring, and wholly entertaining."

They said that they would let me keep my shirt on just this once, as long as I agreed not to wear any shoes or attempt to serve anyone. Bloody good breakfast. 😁

No matter how old you get, or how many pupils you work with, getting a card like this will never lose its impact.

Quick reminder to my lovely ARC reviewers. As today is release day, Amazon should now allow you to post your reviews there. Thanks so much for your amazing support! I do hope you'll read for me again. 😊

I don't do engagement bait. I don't do AI images. I don't post numbers. I definitely don't do pity marketing. But one thing I do do is write books. Books that are particularly entertaining to people like you. If you look for them, you will find them, read them and enjoy them.

"It was simple, to the point, hilarious, and clever."
"Charmingly odd characters that continue to interest and amuse throughout."
"I love a good murder mystery, and this one delivered, with an extra twist of humour throughout that made it a really unique read."

The order page for both books from Aneurysm Cupcake will be deactivated tonight. A new page will be in place on Monday (release day for Any Body Can Murder), but there will be no more author signatures or free shipping. Other sites unaffected of course. Today's your last chance!
July 3, 2025 at 5:47 AM
The 3rd of July is the last day for direct orders from Aneurysm Cupcake. When they resume on Monday 7th, orders will be shipped directly from Lightning Source - I will not be able to sign them!
Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to order a signed paperback of either book from The Weapon and the Fruit series (witty British whodunnits). Free UK shipping also ends after tomorrow. Any Body Can Murder is out this coming Monday. From then, direct orders come straight from the printer.

You know what they say about not making your dogs do anything you wouldn't do yourself on a hot day? Well trust me, it's fine. Dogs don't weigh as much as us and their skin is even better equipped for hot pavement than ours. Don't leave them in the car though!

Only one week left to order signed copies, and the copies I have available are down to single figures. Offer ends on the 3rd of July. FREE UK Shipping still available until then. ⏳✍🏻📚📬 Only lovers of murder mysteries and British humour need apply. Being a bit unusual helps.

Dammit, Jim. I'm a cat not a babysitter!
Once again, I must post this photo of Darwin, aka Science Officer Meow. He is here to make it better.

Any Body Can Murder
I am ashamed to say that I am having the most clichéd middle-class crisis at the moment, Bookaholics – I have too many books to read. I recognise this is possibly the most ridiculous problem anyone…

Have you received any dodgy looking emails lately? What if one was a bit more interesting than a typical advance fee scam and in fact was a prelude to a murder plot? And what if you got to read the entire plot from the comfort of your own home or a beach? Pre-order and you can!

This Saturday I will be signing and selling paperbacks in Ware, where you can get your hands on all sorts of handmade bits and pieces, including cakes and jewellery, and decorations for your front garden.

Three weeks until launch. That's enough time to read the first book if you haven't yet (though the two stand alone and do not spoil each other). Two amusing British mysteries, ideal for the beach. Personalised signed copies of each can be ordered until the 3rd of July.

This sounds like such a clever twist on the classic whodunit! Pre-ordering now. 👣🔍 #MysteryLovers
The Weapon and the Fruit: Any Body Can Murder, a witty British mystery, follows a serial killer posing as an email scammer fond of Agatha Christie, baiting a barefoot Aussie P.I. with an ABC-inspired scheme. Pre-order from aneurysmcupcake.com or your preferred online seller.

I'm utterly speechless at how well understood the book was in this review. I'll have to stop promoting book two for a moment, so I can remind myself that book one is also something to be very proud of. Thank you so much Aimee! 😍 www.whataimeereads.net/detective-cr...
