  • Out with the new… #books

    …and in with the “old”. Book covers, that is. I’m really glad to see the Lakeside Hotel books back in their original covers and looking gorgeous. More about this later; it’s the wrong time of year to be promoting a mainly summery series (though there’s a Christmas book too, just sayin’). Watch out for more…

  • Overhanging balconies – and #books

    Balcony pics first. I took all of these in St Gallen, on a street in the old town where you often see groups of tourists wandering around with (and without) tour guides, taking photos of bits of buildings above your head. So you look up, and think, wow, yes, these are seriously amazing; we should…

  • Summer? #SilentSunday (almost)

    June was sweltering. July was… I’m not saying it was wet, or anything, but the pic below speaks for itself. The water level – dark blue line – of Lake Constance rose dramatically. Good job it was abnormally low to start with or we’d have had flooding. This month, however, has been better and I’ve…

  • Swiss pics, five books and two bargains… #writing

    It’s been a busy few weeks here in N.E. Switzerland. To start with, there’s the Lakeside Hotel series, which is now complete and up on Amazon – BIG thanks to DP Books for the gorgeous cover images. Number five, Wedding Bells at the Lakeside Hotel is now on pre-order at just 99p worldwide, so grab…

  • 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…

  • Goodbye winter, ade (hopefully…) #writing

    First blog post since November… for multiple reasons, but mainly due to an eye condition that makes me very prone to eyestrain, and screenwatching doesn’t help. But enough of that. Winter brought us a minimum of snow ‘down’ here by Lake Constance, and I’m beginning to feel that spring might be approaching. Slowly. The last…

  • 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…

  • 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…
