Two reviews… Magical Realism #bookreview #books
One reason I decided to include book reviews in my blog now is that these days it can be difficult (especially for those of us who live outside the UK) to have our reviews posted on a certain large online bookstore. Going forward, I’ll have a review post towards the end of most months –…

Car alarms at 3 a.m, and other writing advantages… #freebooks
Hello from N.E. Switzerland – that’s Switzerland in the foreground of the pic above, with Germany on the far bank. My home is on the left edge, slightly above the middle. Sitting at my laptop, I can see the lake glistening in the all-too-hot sunshine we’ve had this summer. If it existed, the Lakeside Hotel in…

Plant disasters in Switzerland (and a cut-price book) #nature #kindledeal
It’s been a hot summer in most places in Europe, though I can’t blame the weather for my lack of green fingers. (The saying in German talks about green thumbs, but I don’t have them either.) I’ll start off by mentioning the cut-price book – It’s Missing… Rose Malone, and it’s on a 99p Kindle…

Two reviews… Crime Fiction #bookreview #books
Book reviews are new to my blog, and one reason I decided to include them now is that it can be difficult nowadays (especially for those of us who live outside the UK) to have our reviews posted on a certain large online bookstore. The mini-reviews I’ll include here are short resumes of what I…

Roundup (and BIG news) from Switzerland… #bookblog
Hello everyone – and yes, the blog has come out of hibernation. I needed the blogging break to recharge my batteries after an intensive winter and decide how best to move forwards in today’s challenging book landscape. But summer has come in N.E. Switzerland, and it’s all systems go again. There’ll be 2-4 posts a…

When your best friend goes missing… #books
It was a dilemma for Josiane, my main character in Missing, Rose Malone, and it’s one I’m glad I’ve never encountered personally. She and Rose had grown up neighbours, and they’d always been friends, even though Josiane was a few years older. She knew Rose – didn’t she? And yet… Community carer Rose is missing.…

New book! #comingsoon #books
It’s been a while. My last brand new suspense thriller came out in December 2022, and since then, a combination of working on feel-good projects and re-releases has kept me pretty occupied. But now, at last, suspense number thirteen is ready to go, and here it is: Missing, Rose Malone. The kindle version will be…

New Year, New Book, and a Freebie…
Hello 2026! What should we wish for? Peace and good health are probably top of everyone’s list, so let’s hope hard for those in the coming year. Like most years, 2025 was full of contrasts: things to celebrate, people to grieve. Things we’re glad we did, others we wish we’d never started. Things we did…
