Award shortlist and getting ready to jump - my writing week

This week I was interviewed on BBC Radio Newcastle by DJ Anna Foster about my Scarborough cosy crime Foul Play at the Seaview Hotel. It's been nominated for an award with Listening Books. I start speaking at 1:19:44 here.

The award nomination also made news in The Sunderland Echo and you can read it here.

The award nomination also made news in The Scarborough News and you can read it here.

I've also been researching for months for the last book in the Toffee Factory Girls trilogy and I'm just about ready to start plotting and planning, before writing begins in a couple of weeks time. It's a scary time, but exciting too. It's like standing on the end of a high diving board, getting ready to jump.

My books now on sale in the amazing FruFru&Friends gift emporium in Grangetown, Sunderland. The most incredible place, run by Jean, a powerhouse of a woman!

And one of my books, The Sixpenny Orphan was spotted in Bishop Auckland library as a book which had been enjoyed a lot by a member of staff!

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.
