Festivals & Funiculars - my writing week

I was invited to speak at Books by the Beach festival in Scarborough, which was a fantastic event!

Here I am with festival organiser Helen French.

And here I am on the Central Tramway in Scarborough where my cosy crime novels are for sale in the top station.

I stayed in Scarborough at the Headlands Hotel where my books are for sale in the lounge!

And I received this wonderful review about my novel The Toffee Factory Girls, which just about made me cry!

Also, I had a short story inside The Sunday People's Love Sunday magazine, and a promo for my novel The Toffee Factory Girls.

I also gave a library talk at South Bank library in Middlesbrough where my talk was part of the Crossing the Tees festival.

I was also interviewed on local radio station Durham OnAir

And I gave a talk to Sunderland Soroptomists, an inspiring group of ladies.

I received the hardback copies of the Spanish version of my Scarborough murder mysteries, Murder at the Seaview Hotel. How wonderful! Ole!

I popped into Sunderland Waterstones to sign stock copies of my new book The Toffee Factory Girls.

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.
