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…

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…

Snow… and a #freebook
Winter has arrived in N.E. Switzerland. By the middle of last week, a sugar-coating of snow was covering our local Alpstein mountains, and I went for a tramp above St Gallen with a friend. Then yesterday (Saturday), we had the serious snow. 30cm plus fell on St Gallen, so the path we walked along will…

Autumn in Switzerland #SilentSunday
Almost silent, anyway… As you see, the website is still a work in progress, but I have three lovely autumn photos from Pixabay today. I’ve been to all these places, though not always at this time of year. First up is Tarasp Castle in Lower Engadin, S.E. Switzerland. A different scene below – Geneva and…

As you see, the blog/website has a new look now – this is a work in progress, so bear with us as we (ie Son 2) get it up and running. A few weeks ago, writers Louise Mangos and Alison Baillie and I went to the street art exhibition held all over the town centre…

Lions… #Switzerland #travel (almost) #SilentSunday
I spent a day in Winterthur recently – it’s Switzerland’s sixth largest city and is around twenty minutes east of Zürich by train. I’ve been there many times, but this time, they had lions. 120-odd local businesses were given lions to decorate, and these were set up in the town centre. Here are a few…

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…
