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. 😁

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!

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!

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.

If you're someone who hates wearing shoes, perhaps you sometimes think about choosing not to, or wish you could. Maybe you think it's not realistic; that society wouldn't always let you go barefoot. But what if it just takes a bit of determination? You'd enjoy these books.

Another very positive review over on Instagram today. For all its flaws, (though which platform doesn't have flaws in abundance?) Insta is definitely the most conducive to finding friendly happy readers and reviewers. If you'd like a FREE ARC, signups close in one week!
