Nearly a week on from publication of Return to the Lakeside Hotel, and life is settling down again in N.E. Switzerland.

A week in the writing life… #amwriting #coverreveal
Saving the Lakeside Hotel is two weeks old tomorrow, and I’m beginning to recover from the unexpected suddenness of having my first full length feel-good book catapulted into the world.
