Noirwich Crime Writing Festival

This week I attended Noirwich Crime Writing Festival and had a fabulous time in spite of the heavy rain.

I particularly enjoyed the Spotlight series - Ian Rankin was awesome, as usual.  He signed books afterwards and provided materials for a display of first and fourth drafts of his latest novel.





I met a lovely bunch of writers at one of the workshops and we have set up The Norfolk and Suffolk Writers' Circle.  If you are an author or aspiring writer, then drop us a line asking join the group and we will see what we can do!

Ascension of the Whyte - Audiobook News!

Hi everyone,

You may well have been wondering where I have been the past couple of weeks. Well, I have been away on holiday to the Cotswolds where I visited many literary places including the birthplace of J. K. Rowling and the famous Rose Farm, and Woolpack Inn made famous by Laurie Lee. I even checked out his grave with a beautiful inscription which pronounces, "He lies in the valley he loved."




I also had a well-deserved rest, ate a great deal, drank a little and sat a lot! However, I have not been entirely idle.  I have done much research and written a few thousand words of The Last Girl Guide, and I have arranged to have an audiobook produced for Ascension of the Whyte, which should be available by Christmas.  So if you are an audiobook fan, check back here for updates on the release date.
