Putting the fun into funicular - my writing week

This week I've been in Scarborough, which was part-holiday and part work.  I'd planned to spend a weekend there with family then was asked by Scarborough Library to give a talk on my cosy crimes as part of National Crime Reading Month.  Thank you to everyone who came, it was great!

While in Scarborough, I visited the Central Tramway funicular where my cosy crimes are on sale at the top station.

And I was absolutely stunned and overjoyed to find my name inside the funicular car with the books for sale too. What a joy!  

My books are also for sale in the beautiful Lilly's Treasures gift shop, just a short walk from the funicular.

This week I was also given a wonderful mention on Twitter by Kevin Maguire, associate editor of The Mirror. He is an associate professor at Sunderland University, where I'm offering a new Creative Writing Student a £2,000 scholarship.  Read the full tweet here.

While in Scarborough this week I have been hunting out the locations used for my book covers!  Here's the cover to cosy crime 1 - Murder at the Seaview Hotel bit.ly/MurderAtTheSeaviewHotel
