My article about ‘grace & favour’ at Hampton Court Palace for Historia (link below) ties in with my latest book: MURDER AT THE PALACE.
I hope readers get a sense of time and place because it was great fun to write a proper cosy crime and I loved discovering more about the palace.

I have just written a chapter which flows well, is humorous and conveys information to the reader.
I am feeling pleased with my day’s efforts, which means I shall read it again tomorrow and hate it!
