Going out out!

Almost September and I have lots of exciting things happening soon. September 4th sees the release of Murder in the Countryside and of course, Murder in New York, the Christmas book is up for preorder already! eek! On Thursday Sept 12th you'll find me at Ivybridge Book Shop 5.30 til 6.30. I'll be launching Murder in the Countryside with a reading, signing and mini Q and A.

On the 20th and 21st of September Dartmouth is having a book festival and on the Saturday I'm appearing on a panel with the fabulous Sarah Pearse and the talented Hannah Dennison. There are lots of wonderful authors there over the two days so do come along if you can.

Then in October I'll be at an event in Bovey Tracey on the 8th followed by Crime at the Coast in Torquay in November - more details on those two events closer to the time. If you can't get to any of those watch out for The Red Rabbit Hole podcast as I've recorded a two part session with Nicky and Lisa where we talk about Murder at The Playhouse and why music hall and theatre are so close to my heart. We also discuss drag kings, Josephine Baker and the banana dance! Tons of fun.

August already!

This year is just rushing past! The first draft on a new Miss Underhay is done and I'll start editing it ready for my publisher and my agent on Monday. Set in America over Christmas with snow and ice it was a tricky write in the middle of a UK heatwave! Work of the Secret Detective Agency book 2 is also coming along slowly. I'm hoping to get a big chunk written at the end of this month. I'm also in the process of editing the first book ready for release next year. Murder in the Countryside is now on Netgalley and is releasing in less than a month! That seems to have rolled around very quickly. Life wise, I have upcoming visits to the theatre to look forward to and very excitingly a trip to London to my publishers, Bookouture

with Kate, my agent to meet my team and discuss all kinds of booky stuff. More of that when I get home!
