Pictures of Switzerland… #books
We’re getting beautiful spring weather here in N.E. Switzerland – it’s lovely to be able to get out and about without packing woolly hats and gloves and scarves. Last week, a friend and I went to the Würth Haus in Rorschach, where the new exhibition is ‘Sport and Free Time’. The exhibits were many and…

On the other side of the Alps… #travel #SilentSunday
On Friday, a friend and I set off (very) early to visit another friend in the Ticino – Locarno, to be exact. It was a fabulous day: Don’t forget, Saving the Lakeside Hotel is on pre-order at 99p/c with dp Books, and will be out in ten days or so. By summer, all five ebooks…

News… and a bargain #book
Bargain first – Stolen Sister is just 99p/c in the UK/US this weekend – grab it while it’s hot! The news belongs to Melinda Huber, my feel-good writing self, and I’ve been sitting on it for weeks now. I’m delighted that the Lakeside Hotel books have been accepted by dp digital publishers, an established German…

Goodbye winter, ade (hopefully…) #writing
First blog post since November… for multiple reasons, but mainly due to an eye condition that makes me very prone to eyestrain, and screenwatching doesn’t help. But enough of that. Winter brought us a minimum of snow ‘down’ here by Lake Constance, and I’m beginning to feel that spring might be approaching. Slowly. The last…

Dreich in November… and a bargain! #SilentSunday #books
Make that almost Silent Sunday… November hasn’t been the sunniest month so far in N.E. Switzerland, but the old town is impressive even in grey gloom. My “Christmas” cactus collection is looking good too. Not sure we’ll make it to Christmas, though. And finally – Daria’s Daughter is on a UK/US 99p/c deal for the…

A wacky exhibition and three #book bargains
Book bargains first, so if you’re here for the exhibition pics only, just scroll on by. Last week I parted ways – very amicably – with my publisher, and set about republishing the books on Amazon. The process is still ongoing and reviews for two of them haven’t transferred from the existing audiobook versions to…

Can we start summer again, please? #travel (not…)
And I’m not (only) talking about the weather, though goodness knows, it hasn’t made life any easier this year. You won’t want to read LONG descriptions of writerly and other woes, so I’ll just make a nice list and then go on to the (all-too-short) better parts of the season. (I won’t be offended if…

Dilemma… #books
Son 2 (and his mother) have spent quite a lot of time recently shifting all his and some of my worldly goods around Switzerland, as he moved from his student flat-share near Zurich into his own flat here by the lake, leaving me with more space at home. I decided to shift a bookcase or…

Lake Constance… #travel
I have two kinds of lakeside pics for you this week. First of all, both Saving the Lakeside Hotel and Return to the Lakeside Hotel are available in paperback now as well as ebook. Secondly, below are a couple of photos I took from the ferry on the way to and from Friedrichshafen on the…

When in doubt – make paperbacks… #books
I’ve spent a lot of time recently mulling over which direction I want to take with my writing. Getting the five Lakeside Hotel books ready for ebook publication, then organising the necessary promotion etcetera for them didn’t leave a lot of time for writing, and while I do have two works-in-progress, the decision about what,…
