  • Christmas without Santa? #books

    It’s been a busy few weeks here in N.E. Switzerland – not long now until the new book comes out! It’s the start of the Christmas celebrations at the Lakeside Hotel, and Stacy and Rico are gearing up for the season of peace and goodwill. But – is Christmas really Christmas without Santa? Because Santa…

  • Book news – and other things… #travel #books

    I didn’t keep the date of the day when I first saw my (pen) name in print. I couldn’t even tell you the year, now, but it was in the 1990s and it was a short story in The People’s Friend, the first of 50-60 stories and articles I wrote for them and a couple…

  • The Summer of ’23… #writing #travel #books

    It’s been a mixed one here – we’ve had everything from searing heat to days on end of wall-to-wall rain. We’re back in a searing heat phase now, with no rain in sight until the end of the coming week. Lake Constance is over half a metre lower than average for the time of year,…

  • The year the lake spilled over… #travel #books

    In Problems at the Lakeside Hotel, one of the main challenges hotel owners Rico and Stacy have to face is a rising – then overflowing – Lake Constance. Having to issue guests with wellies to get to the restaurant for dinner each night must be in the top ten of every hotel manager’s worst nightmares……

  • Problems… at the Lakeside Hotel #books #comingsoon

    Four weeks to go until Problems at the Lakeside Hotel is published, the third in my feel-good fiction series and the last this spring. (Next time, we have Christmas at Lakeside…) In this book it’s May, though, and Stacy and Rico are facing a different kind of challenge. They’re together at last and it’s all…

  • This and that… #books #Switzerland

    Nearly a week on from publication of Return to the Lakeside Hotel, and life is settling down again in N.E. Switzerland. Huge thanks here to everyone who has tweeted, shared, commented on posts, or bought, borrowed and read books. I’m really pleased to see the ‘Switzerland’ books going out in the world as full length…

  • Return to the Lakeside Hotel – out now! #newbook

    And like last time, my book went out with no problem at all – the gremlins really do seem to be gone. Next time, we can try for a more traditional approach to publication again… 🙂 To celebrate, both books are available on kindle at just 99p for a few days – tap HERE to…

  • Two days (approximately) to go… #newbook

    It’s back to crossed fingers here in N.E. Switzerland – if everything goes according to plan, Return to the Lakeside Hotel will be available at the beginning of the week, and both books will be on offer at 99p for a couple of days. I’ll put out a short blog post with details as soon…

  • Cover Love #books #amreading #coverlove

    I read recently that the main purpose of a book cover is to attract the reader’s attention. Obviously, it should have something to do with the subject of the book too – you wouldn’t put an image of a vegetable garden on a book called How to Crochet, but the cover needn’t tell the story…
