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…

Dreich in November… and a bargain! #SilentSunday #books
Make that almost Silent Sunday… November hasn’t been the sunniest month so far in N.E. Switzerland, but the old town is impressive even in grey gloom. My “Christmas” cactus collection is looking good too. Not sure we’ll make it to Christmas, though. And finally – Daria’s Daughter is on a UK/US 99p/c deal for the…

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…

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…

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…

Cover Love – with Carmen Radtke #books
I read once 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…
