Toffees, Yorkshire and two bouquets - my writing week

This week I began the background reading for my next Scarborough-set cosy crime. It's going to be a lot of fun! No details yet... I'm such a tease!

After the hardback, ebook and audiobook publication last week of The Toffee Factory Girls I received two beautiful bouquets. One from my publisher Headline (thanks, everyone!) and the other from my husband who is also my chauffeur, bodyguard, roadie, counsellor and coffee maker!

The Toffee Factory Girls proof paperbacks were sent out by my publisher to reviewers, with free toffees! Some pics already received are as follows:

I was featured in The Halifax Courier with my cosy crimes set in Scarborough, in a round-up of Yorkshire novels. How wonderful! Read the full article here. It was also syndicated to a number of Yorkshire newspapers including The Scarborough News and the The Harrogate Advertiser.

There's a new competition to win one of my books, signed. Enter here.

My novel The Toffee Factory Girls is now available to book bloggers on NetGalley on request from Headline. Request 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.
