  • Cornwall…

    …is the setting for my second novel. Which, as of today, is also my seventh novel… The Cold Cold Sea was re-released today with a fab new cover by The Cover Collection – I love it! I have lovely memories of Cornwall, especially the north coast around Newquay, so here are a few pics of…

  • Feel-good fiction for Doctors without Borders… special offer!

    It feels like a long time ago since February, when my charity anthology, The Saturday Secret came out, published by Fabrian Books. 2017 profits from this book are going to Doctors without Borders, who do excellent work where it’s needed most. Last spring, I sent the first Fr.200.- off, and since then the money’s been…

  • Buster & Moo: Everything in its place

    One day a few years ago, I was searching around on Twitter and came across Geoff Le Pard. His then-new book title was attention-grabbing: Dead Flies and Sherry Trifle. After a brief Twitter-chat, I went to look at his blog, and have followed him ever since. Today I’m really pleased to welcome him here to…

  • Travelling back to Greece with Abby Foulkes

    Today I’m delighted to welcome Alison Gray back to the blog. Her last three books take us from Greece to England – and with the recently-published third in the series, Forget-me-not Blues, back to Greece again. Here’s Alison to tell us about her locations (check the amazing trailer at the end of the post, too):…

  • Cheers, slàinte, and prost!

    It’s a triple book celebration today here in N.E. Switzerland – one of them entirely by coincidence. First of all, happy publication day to The Saturday Secret, my first-ever feel-good, romantic-ish collection of short stories. I’ve been wanting to do a charity book with my stories for a while, and this is it. All 2017…

  • Books Without Borders….

    Standing in my living room this morning, I can see into three different countries. Switzerland, Germany, Austria. It’s fun, living in borderland. In summer we take the ferry across the lake to Friedreichshafen once or twice a month, to stroll along the promenade there, admiring the mountains back home in Switzerland. (We’re too close to…

  • Lost: the weather. A Very British Blog Post…

    Here in Switzerland, it’s a well-known fact that British people like talking about the weather – and let’s face it; the weather gives us something different to say several times a day. But this year, it’s conversation topic number one here in middle Europe too. Swiss winters are snowy, crisp and cold and full of…

  • Numbers, and £££, and an auction…

    Writers work with words. That’s a fact, but numbers play a part too. Not only do we have sales figures and the dreaded Amazon rankings to contend with, we have to think about price and profit and tax returns and accounts and all the other etceteras. And I’ve always been terrible at maths. Sales figures…

  • The Writing Life: Getting paid…

    Hybrid writers, they say, have the best of both worlds. I’m not sure that’s true – I think we have the pros but also the cons of both traditional and self-publishing. Take getting paid… I have two traditionally published books. Every six months I receive a royalty statement, theoretically immediately followed by payment, for six…

  • The A B C of writing a book… (only slightly tongue-in-cheek)

    Please note, this is not a list of instructions – that needs no A B C. To write a book, ‘all’ you need to do, according to a cartoon doing the rounds on social media, is: Sit. Stay. Write. This is a list of other important bookish points. A is for…   Yes. Well. A is…
