Pictures of Switzerland… #books
We’re getting beautiful spring weather here in N.E. Switzerland – it’s lovely to be able to get out and about without packing woolly hats and gloves and scarves. Last week, a friend and I went to the Würth Haus in Rorschach, where the new exhibition is ‘Sport and Free Time’. The exhibits were many and…

On the other side of the Alps… #travel #SilentSunday
On Friday, a friend and I set off (very) early to visit another friend in the Ticino – Locarno, to be exact. It was a fabulous day: Don’t forget, Saving the Lakeside Hotel is on pre-order at 99p/c with dp Books, and will be out in ten days or so. By summer, all five ebooks…

News… and a bargain #book
Bargain first – Stolen Sister is just 99p/c in the UK/US this weekend – grab it while it’s hot! The news belongs to Melinda Huber, my feel-good writing self, and I’ve been sitting on it for weeks now. I’m delighted that the Lakeside Hotel books have been accepted by dp digital publishers, an established German…

A wacky exhibition and three #book bargains
Book bargains first, so if you’re here for the exhibition pics only, just scroll on by. Last week I parted ways – very amicably – with my publisher, and set about republishing the books on Amazon. The process is still ongoing and reviews for two of them haven’t transferred from the existing audiobook versions to…

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…

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…

And – it’s a wedding! #books
Wedding Bells are set to ring for Stacy and Rico in my coming book, out in under two weeks now and available for preorder around January 15th. Have a look at the lovely cover image, designed as usual for this series by James at Go On Write – thank you so much, James. I particularly…

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…

Merry Christmas to all!
I’m sure everyone has more than enough to do on Christmas Eve, so this is a very quick post to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, and great good luck for 2024! I really appreciate all the help and support I have from the reading, writing and blogging communities – especially this year when I’ve had…
