Wonderbirds, Libraries and Feasts - my writing week


This week has been a week of organising and planning. I did a little research this week for my next trilogy of books and caught up on writing my research notes while planning ahead for the work I need to do in the coming weeks. 

I was interviewed by three wonderful ladies on the Wonderbirds show this week. It was amazing, a real "pinch-me" moment.  The Wonderbirds Show is the creation of actresses Debbie Arnold, Dee Anderson, Sherrie Hewson and Harriet Thorpe. Find out more here.  They asked me all kinds of questions about my writing, my books and my soap opera Riverside which is now an audio drama. You can watch the full interview online at their YouTube channel very soon.


My Christmas saga A Mother's Christmas Wish ...


...was included in the Houghton Feast brochure for 2022. Houghton Feast is a huge event which happens each autumn in the north-east and it's an honour to be included in their brochure. I have a full-page ad and there are details of my event with the new, independent bookshop Featherbed Books. All details of all events are online here. All welcome, please come!


My novel was also featured in this month's SR6 magazine which goes free to all households in the SR6 postcode area, in Sunderland.


I gave a talk about my books, cosy crimes and sagas and my soap opera Riverside at Jarrow Focus Library. This was part of the Write Festival 2022.  Very enjoyable it was too. Take a look at all of my upcoming talks and events. I hope I might see you at one of them soon. It's always good to see a friendly face in the audience!



Speaking of events, I visited Ryhope Community Centre this week to arrange my book launch for my Christams saga set in Ryhope 1923, A Mother's Christmas Wish. It's free and all are welcome. It's on Tuesday November 8 at 1.30pm and will include a film of Ryhope's mining past and a free raffle! All details here


Elsewhere this week, I gave thanks to the Elvis Festival in Porthcawl, the World's Biggest Elvis Festival for supporting my cosy crime set in Scarborough which stars 12 Elvis impersonators (Twelvis!). All details here.


My novel The Miner's Lass was sitting pretty in the window of the new Sugar Pot cafe in Ryhope, where the book is set. The cafe's windows have been etched with designs from Ryhope's mining past by Kathryn (on social media as @krillustrates).


I'm delighted to say I am now offering GIFT VOUCHERS which can be exchanged for any of my sagas or cosy crimes.  Perfect Christmas presents! All details at

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.


I also kept the Coronation Street Blog ticking over with news and editing the team of 16 bloggers. 


See you next week!
