Wrote a chapter, but for whatever reason I’ve done this over four notebooks so now I’ve got to search for all the pieces and jigsaw them together.

Mark your diaries because Mistakes Mean Murder is being released on Wednesday 12th February.

Five years since Alice Valentine and Marmaduke Featherstone teamed up to solve the mystery of who murdered a retired detective, they are back. (Although in bookish terms, only 18 months have passed.)

I've sent this email to my MP after doing the public consultation on AI, not sure it will do much but I would encourage anyone else in a similar situation to do the same

I have received the best compliment ever given to a writer. At today's event, a returning reader told me that my book lives on her nightstand, and that she wasn't a reader prior to reading Our Doris. I'm rather pleased that the book and its characters have made such a connection.

This is a decidedly brilliant book that you ought to read.

Last year I released a poetry collection and people have begun to ask me why, so I recorded an entire video on the subject because I'm just that self-indulgent.

An image of Sally from a few months ago. Since I’ve no longer got a vehicle, I am missing our jaunts around Macclesfield Forest.

Having walked the dog, all obligations are done with for the day. Therefore, I will be spending the remainder of the day decomposing in a corner, reading books and supping tea.

Mistakes Mean Murder, the second book in my cosy crime series, will be released next year. Do you have an inkling of where I could take the book on tour? Or somewhere you think I should visit?

After the misfortune of releasing a book in February 2020, I’m keen for folk to discover the series.

20 minutes at work and I’m already on my second cup of coffee because lord knows I did not sleep last night.

Let us hope for sensible, kind customers with heavy wallets today please.

A new reading vlog is available on my YouTube channel. Here, I chat about my week. Also, the search for a car is ongoing and I moan about not being able to walk my dog - that's just who I am as a human being.
