What a crazy, wonderful week it has been.  Finally, the big news I've been sitting on for months was made public. I'm going to write two more sagas for Headline, bringing the total of sagas set in the northeast mining community where I was born and bred, to eight.  Plus I'm going to write three cosy crimes too. The first of these, Murder at the Seaview Hotel , will be published in August 2021. And as if that wasn't exciting enough to knock my socks off this week, I was featured in a full-page spread in the Mirror. Read more on that here .

My novel The Paper Mill Girl  is featured in Headline's publishing highlights for 2021.  I'm on page 34.

I am fizzing with excitement today. The news I've been bursting to tell for months is finally out in the open. BookBrunch published the news today and I'm over the moon sharing it at last.  Not only am I writing two more sagas set in the northeast village of Ryhope in 1919 (it's the village where I was born and bred) but I'm writing three cosy crime books for Headline too.  The first cosy crime - Murder at the Seaview Hotel - is out in August 2021 and it's a LOT of fun.  __ Glenda Young Author of historical novels with Headline Twitter: @Flaming_Nora Facebook: GlendaYoungAuthor

Today I'm in the Daily Mirror - the only tabloid my dad would ever allow in our house when I was growing up.   The article's all about how Coronation Street changed my life - led to me becoming an author and meeting the love of my life.  You can read it here. __ Glenda Young Author of historical novels with Headline Twitter: @Flaming_Nora Facebook: GlendaYoungAuthor
