  • The Easter Bunny in Switzerland…

    Chocolate eggs aren’t big in Switzerland. They do exist, all sizes and fillings and wrapped in a variety of colourful foils. But the main (chocolate) event here is – bunnies.   They also come in all sizes and designs, from gorgeous and golden… to unwrapped (and even more mouth-watering)… to the kind you buy in…

  • Zeppelins, Highland Cows, and 38 Reasons you should never visit Scotland…

    Continuing with the Facebook Scenic picture challenge: Day Five and we’re in Friedreichshafen in Germany, which I can see across the lake from my flat in N.E. Switzerland. Friedreichshafen is the home of the Zeppelin. Day Six: Back on the Isle of Arran today, with two family photos taken by me (scenery) and Son 1…

  • Scotland to Switzerland… via England. The Scenic/Landscape Photo Challenge.

    Last week I was nominated – thank you Christa Polkinhorn – to take part in the Scenic Photo Challenge on Facebook, which involves posting a photo a day for seven days, and tagging another lucky soul to do the same each time. Not everyone’s on Facebook, so I thought I’d post my pics here too:…

  • The lost pen…

    Last autumn, on the way home from Zürich on the train, I found a pen. It had fallen between the seat and the carriage wall, and presumably its owner hadn’t noticed because I was able to fish it up quite easily. It was a Paper Mate, but not one of the gold-plated kind so I…

  • Paperback!

    Chosen Child is now available in paperback! It’s a lovely paperback, thanks to Debbie at The Cover Collection, and in one respect this one’s different to my others because it has a glossy finish, which really shows off that lovely turquoise. Purchase links: Amazon UK  Amazon US Amazon Germany (or your local Amazon store) Thank…

  • Halfway…

    It’s eBook publication week for Chosen Child, and halfway through the blog tour we have a slight hiccup… Today’s post should be coming from Jane Isaac’s Caffeine’s not a Crime blog, however, at the end of last week her entire website disappeared into cyberspace. It’s back now but not yet functioning properly, so we agreed…

  • Chosen Child is published!

    I’m really pleased that my fourth book – another psychological thriller – is now available to download on kindle or other devices with an app. A few bits and pieces about the book: From the first word on the first page of the first draft, until today, it took almost exactly sixteen months to complete.…

  • The A B C of writing a book… (only slightly tongue-in-cheek)

    Please note, this is not a list of instructions – that needs no A B C. To write a book, ‘all’ you need to do, according to a cartoon doing the rounds on social media, is: Sit. Stay. Write. This is a list of other important bookish points. A is for…   Yes. Well. A is…

  • Let’s play book bingo!

    …and here’s our bingo card.  (Thank you Cleo Bannister for another great blog idea!) In my version, they’re all books I’ve read. We start top left: A book with more than 500 pages: I tend to stick to shorter books, as I don’t have much reading time, but several of Elizabeth George’s books are this…

  • New book trailer!

    If you compare learning to make a book trailer to learning to ride your bike with no stabilisers, I’m at the stage of wobbling along, a parent (in my case, son 2) trotting beside me. For yards I can go it alone, then I lurch and need a steadying hand on the saddle. The fun…
