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…

A Terrible Tale of (#book) Woe…
I won’t say last Tuesday was the most frustrating day of my writing career, but it must be right up there in my top twenty. Background story: Having decided to put my Lakeside Hotel series out in paperback as well as eBook, I organised the formatting and cover for the first, Saving the Lakeside Hotel,…

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,…

Wedding Bells… #books
It’s been a busy week for me here in N.E. Switzerland. It’s been pretty cold, too, which at least means I’m less tempted to abandon my computer and go outside… I took this photo of our lovely, but chilly lake yesterday. So, book news: Wedding Bells at the Lakeside Hotel was released without a hitch on…

2023 – the year that was…
It’s been a busy year here in N.E. Switzerland, both in my writing and more generally too. And it’s been an odd one, because this is the first year since 2012 that I haven’t had a new suspense book published. On the other hand, it’s the first year ever where I’ve self-published four books (the…

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,…
