At long last we’re getting shorts and t-shirts weather here in N.E. Switzerland, and it’s lovely. Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the woods, birds singing and wasps buzzing – okay, maybe I could do without the buzzing wasps. Here’s a sunshine pic of the woods today, at 6.42 a.m. exactly.

Even sunnier was my mood yesterday, when I was compiling a list of crime writers, and came across my own book at number 9 in the hot new releases chart on Amazon US. Baby Dear is doing very nicely on both sides of the Atlantic – big thanks to everyone who’s helped.
One thing we could use is a few more customer reviews, so if you’ve enjoyed the book and would like to leave a review, I’d be very grateful. On the UK site (and I imagine in the US too), there’s no word limit, meaning a review can be as short as one word long. The more customer reviews a book has, the more Amazon will promote it – it all helps!
