It's not a smile, it's a lid on a scream - My Writing Week

This week I'm reminded of a line from classic Coronation Street, from the lips of barmaid Bet Lynch.

"That's not a smile, it's a lid on a scream."

It's been a heartbreaking week for reasons I won't publish here.

The Toffee Factory Girls books are now on sale in the gorgeous shop at The Word (National Centre for The Written Word) in South Shields. It's one of my favourite places in the Northeast!

Also this week my Scarborough cosy crime about obsessive crazy golfers, is still on sale for 99p ebook. Download it here.

I crafted another episode of my weekly soap opera Riverside for The People's Friend magazine. I've been writing Riverside weekly since 2016 and you can find out all about it here.
