Amazon Bestseller, Elvis, Short Story and a Box of Books - my Writing Week

This week was Elvis week, an international celebration of the King of Rock and Roll. As a homage to the man, meet 12 Elvis impersonators (Twelvis!) in my Scarborough cosy crime Murder at the Seaview Hotel. It's just 99p this month at bit.ly/MurderAtTheSeaviewHotel

Elsewhere this week I was honoured to see my next Scarborough cosy crime, Deadly Dancing at the Seaview Hotel, in The Bookseller's Buyers Guide. Order your copy at bit.ly/DeadlyDancing

I had a short story included in The People's Friend Special magazine. The story is called The Farmer and His Goat.

This week I received the first of my author copies of my next Scarborough cosy crime, Deadly Dancing at the Seaview Hotel. Order your copy at bit.ly/DeadlyDancing

And I took some time away from work to spend a wonderful week in Dunoon. Whilst there, I signed books at the Selborne Hotel. This is part of the Alfa Leisureplex chain, who sell my books in all of their hotels with proceeds going to the Re-engage charity, who work to prevent loneliness in older life.

And don't forget, this little beauty is just 99p this month at bit.ly/MurderAtTheSeaviewHotel

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.
