Research, Book Launch, Signings - My Writing Week


This week I began tentatively researching for my next historical saga set in Sunderland. I can't reveal what it's about but the research has begun!


As part of the research, my first visit was to Sunderland Antiquarian Society, who were very helpful, as always.


Also this week I'm happy to say that my Scarborough cosy crime Deadly Dancing at the Seaview Hotel is now available at Waterstones, Scarborough.


And speaking of Scarborough, the Seaside Hideaway hotel offered all four of my cosy crimes in a competition in conjunction with All Things Scarborough!

Whilst in The National Glass Centre in Sunderland this week I spotted my books for sale in the gorgeous shop.

And three of my four book signings this week were included in The Crack magazine, the north-east's premier listing and events magazine.


One of those book signings was at Waterstones Sunderland.

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.

Clippy Mat Making at Beamish

The BBC puts it like this: Proggy mats were a common sight in working-class homes in the North East of England until the mid-20th Century. Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. 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...
