It's official publication day for The Unravelling of Mary Reddish! A big thank you to anyone who has managed to get in early to buy/read/review the book already. @legendpress.bsky.social

I've given it a go, but I think I might have to call it a day on cosy crime. I get that there's a big market for it, but all the books I've tried - The Mystery Guest being the latest - don't do it for me. Crimes should have real consequences, shouldn't they, even in fiction?

A bit late to this one, but have just finished #LessonsinChemistry and found it as engaging and enjoyable as everyone says. But spare me the inner thoughts of the dog! Now I need to watch the Apple TV series to see how they tackle that...

This ‘fully recyclable gift wrap paper’ is the 21st century’s worst invention. I’m all for losing the plastic wrap and saving the planet, but is this the best anyone can come up with?

Great work by the team at Legend Press for the cover of my historical novel 'The Unravelling of Mary Reddish', which is out next year. Might be of particular interest to Nottingham folk as it's set around the old asylum in Sneinton. Some more details on Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DDg6xTpA2e7/

Ah, yes, Mavis is very Neff! (Or vice versa.) Butter wouldn’t melt…

Thought I'd better post a pic of my cats to avoid getting chucked off here. Mavis and Molly. This is the closest you're going to get them - no chance of them sitting together and both looking cutely into the camera.
