Back from a wonderful holiday in northern Spain, made extra special by spotting the Spanish version of Murder at the Seaview Hotel on sale in El Corte Ingles department store in the city of Girona!
This week, one of the best things happened! Strictly Come Dancing judge & ballroom legend Anton du Beke said this about my ballroom dancing cosy crime Deadly Dancing at the Seaview Hotel: “I loved Glenda's book and her characters - perfect for all fans of dance, mystery and cosy escapism. Absolutely smashing!”
The news about Anton du Beke and my cosy crime Deadly Dancing at the Seaview Hotel made its way into The Sunderland Echo. You can read the story here.
I was interviewed about Anton du Beke's quote and the news on BBC York, BBC Lincoln, BBC Sheffield and BBC Leeds. DJ Bek Homer spoke to me and you can listen to the interview at 15 mins in here https://bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002k0jt?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile
I gave a talk to Seaham U3A, such an enthusiastic group and I enjoyed the event very much. Would you like to invite me to speak to your local group, book club or community event, etc? Please get in touch here.
