Football, flowers and Featherbed Books - my writing week


This week my next Scarborough cosy crime, Deadly Dancing at the Seaview Hotel, was included in the Headline publishing highlights catalogue for 2025. This made me happy indeed.



And I was given a lovely mention by Featherbed Books, our region's only indie bookshop, in an interview for The Sunderland Echo.  The bookshop celebrates three years open this month and I was lucky enough to be invited to officially open their extension to the shop when they expanded.


Also this week I gave a talk at Withernsea Library as part of National Crime Writers' Month.

I was given a lovely mention in an article about Chester-le-Street florist Pretty Busy Blooms.  You can read the full article here.

As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
