Writing Week - Wearside Echoes, WHSmith, Wired for Story and Christmas

This week I was featured on the Wearside Echoes podcast in the Sunderland Echo talking about growing up in the village where I now set my bestselling novels. You can read it all here.

The SAGA genre of novels, which I write, is being invested heavily in by WHSmith who now have new SAGA bays in their bigger shops. This is the SAGA bay in WHSmith Newcastle city centre where my books were included. This is fantastic news for SAGA readers and writers.

Tomorrow (Sat 2 Nov) I'll be at Saint Paul's Christmas Fayre in Ryhope. I'll be selling and signing my books and will be happy to chat about them. Come and say hello!

Also this week I spent the final day reading, planning and plotting my next novel, ready to start writing very soon. This novel will be the final, third book in the Toffee Factory Girls trilogy, to be published by Headline in 2026.

Also this week my novel A Mother's Christmas Wish is just 99p for Kindle during November. Download it now at bit.ly/AMothersChristmasWish

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.
