I have a new book out and it’s called Perfect Murder. It’s about a crime writer who wonders if she would be able to commit the perfect murder due to all she knows about killing and police investigations, and goes about testing this, turning her into a serial killer. It’s in first-person narrative so you’re…
The Future Library
I don’t know if you’ve heard of this but I only heard about it a couple of weeks ago when I was doing the Margaret Attwood course on Masterclass, which I talk about HERE. It’s the Future Library. It’s a fascinating project. Back in 2014 someone set up the future library, starting first of all…
Masterclass – A Sale!
I’m sure you’ve heard of Masterclass. You’ll have probably seen it advertised on Facebook if you use it. It’s a video content course. Filled with some unbelievable teachers. For writers, the likes of Aaron Sorkin, Shonda Rhimes, Dan Brown, James Patterson, Margaret Attwood and more. It’s not just for writers though, there are many other…
Recently Read – A Deathly Silence by Jane Isaac
I know it’s been quite a while since I blogged and I feel bad about that. I’m not really sure what happened. It started in the summer. I went away and the blog went by the wayside. I returned from holiday and was busy working and along with managing ill-health I never seemed to manage…
My Writing Life ~ Progressing
I haven’t written a Writing Life post for quite a few weeks. I hate to say I’ve been busy because it sounds like a negative thing when in fact I love working, and being busy writing and editing is a joy for me, but it is because I’ve been working hard that I haven’t been…
My Writing Life ~ Forward Momentum!
It’s been a couple of weeks since I last updated with one of these posts. Mostly because I hadn’t much to say. I was still floundering. I wasn’t writing. I was mulling over the outline for the standalone I was writing, trying to pin it down so I could get back on with writing it…
Closing The Consulting Service
It is with sadness that I write this post today but the time has come for me to close the consulting service I have run for the past couple of years. The service I have provided to crime writers so they can authenticate their work has provided me a great pleasure, but over the past…
My Writing Life ~ Slow Going
I’m not used to my writing life being this way, but it’s slow going right now. When we last talked, two weeks ago, I was on 13,000 words. Today I am only on 20,000 words. 7,000 word progression in two weeks. That’s poor. I told you last time that this book was tangling me up…
I Made a Mistake …
I published the fifth book in the DI Hannah Robbins series back in February, 14th to be precise, but I forgot to include it in Kindle Select on Amazon which means it wasn’t a part of Kindle Unlimited (KU). KU is the subscription service where members can read selected books for FREE. Books that authors…
Interview With Publisher Karen Sullivan ~ Orenda
Today I am pleased to welcome Karen Sullivan to the blog. She is a very busy woman so it has taken a few weeks to get this together. But it has been worth the wait. I hope you agree. Hi Karen, thank you for coming on the blog to talk about books, crime fiction and…
