Bit late due to lengthy ‘in-house’ edit checks on ‘Richer not Poorer-Death was the Start’ which has now gone back to the publishers-Grove House-for the final pre-print run off – nearly there!

An excellent piece of work running to approx. 220,000 words. May have to split because of this but not yet decided

An exciting Romantic thriller which should more than give Father Brown & Grantchester a run for their money! Has taken over 3 years to write + 3 personal writer edits and a stroke thrown in…4 years ago! Nothing short of a masterpiece!

It’s already the 11th month of the year which has gathered apace since we waved summer off in August and my family trip down to Torquay-lovely.

However on a much happier note ‘we’ finally got to see ‘The Mystery of Cloverdaisy Cottage Part 2 published properly which is a real boon. A follow up to Part 1 of the same title. It reaches new boundaries for children especially making dreams come true along with the Abbey ghosts, the magical frogs and spell-binding teleporting trip beyond time. I had hoped to make the festive period for open sales but lack of a decent P.R. has pushed things back to the New Year. That said I can make it a double-hit with both new books & promote them ‘together’ – exciting times!! However its 2 years since I hawked retail sales round the artisan markets, libraries and schools but ready to blow the cobwebs off provided the weather is kind.

Back in Advent to close 2025!
