Thanks Colin - and my editor takes all the credit
Blurbs in the wild: Cosy crime loves a niche setting. How to emphasise that niche & the cosiness's inherent humour? Dish up the puns. @orlandomurrin.bsky.social and @transworldbooks.bsky.social Knife Skills for Beginners throws 6 cooking/murder-related puns at the reader. Deadly but also delicious.

As the end of the UK tax year looms, any other Blooskies fed up that the tax allowance for car travel is still 45p per mile, unchanged since 2011? (Not my Audi - I drive a VW)

This was great fun but I also learnt heaps from you both.
I so enjoyed recording this episode with Caroline Crampton & @orlandomurrin.bsky.social
