Classic Comfort Reads… with Maureen Myant
The idea behind the Classic Comfort posts is that each featured writer chooses a favourite title from the classics – we’ll define ‘classic’ as pre-1940 – and a favourite comfort read, a book they always return to, for whatever reasons. As third book in each post, we’ll have one by the writer. This week, we…

Mixed news… #books
This is the blog post that should have gone out last week, after the scheduled release of my new book The Un-Family on the 14th. The bad news is, due to an Amazon glitch (they needed proof – twice – that Hobeck Books had the right to publish), the ebook wasn’t up on Amazon until…

A walk in Swiss woods… #travel (almost) #SilentSunday
After all the rain we’ve had recently, it was good to have some sunshine last week. I thought I’d walk through the woods and see how the beaver dams (there are three) were getting on. I tried to go on to the second dam, but it was so wet and muddy underfoot I gave up,…

New Book… #amwriting #coverreveal
And here it is, the sensational cover image for my new book, The Un-Family, which will be published on November 15th. Big thanks here to Hobeck Books and their cover designer Jayne Mapp, who also designed the images for Daria’s Daughter and Pact of Silence. What’s it about? In a word – family. The Martins.…

Sunshine in Switzerland… #SilentSunday #travel
Water… a weekend walk to the lake. It makes such a difference where the sun is – the two last photos were taken less than a minute apart, but looking in different directions.
Got any book recommendations?
