Newcastle Noir, Instagram Live, Bookshop, Baubles and Toffee - My Writing Week


This has been one of the busiest weeks of the year with four author events and if you're reading this on Friday 6 December, I've got another event tomorrow too!  I love this time of year and enjoy all the events too.

I was at beautiful Elemore Park in Easington Lane for a book signing in their cafe. All books sold very quickly and instead of being there 2 hours as planned, I left after 30 minutes.  Wowser.  Thank you to everyone who came to buy books.


I was also invited to take part in the prestigious crime writing festival Newcastle Noir at Newcastle City Library.  I was the first author to take part in an event when the festival opened on Wednesday 4 December and was interviewed by festival organiser Jacky Collins about my Scarborough cosy crimes.  

Here's my author pass hanging on my Christmas tree!


Also at Newcastle Noir I was invited to take part in an author talk which was broadcast from Newcastle library on Instagram Live. I was in conversation with crime authors Cathy Murphy and Jamie West. What a great event this was!


I also did a festive book signing at Bishopwearmouth tea room on Chester Road in Sunderland. All profits from the books went to Bishopwearmouth CIC charity, as above with Elemore as they are part of the same group.  Thank you to everyone who came to buy books.


And on a day out to beautiful Yarm in Teesside, I popped into Waterstones and signed copies of my Scarborough cosy crimes. Booksellers are the best people, along with librarians. Thank you all.


My author newsletter was sent out this week with competition, news and events inside. You can read it online here.


If you'd like signed books for Christmas, please get in touch asap here


And my publisher, Headline, has a competition running on their Instagram page to win gift-wrapped copies of The Toffee Factory Girls with bags of Walkers NonSuch toffee.  Enter 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.


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