  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Cover Love – with Amanda James… #books #amreading

    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…

  • The year the lake spilled over… #travel #books

    In Problems at the Lakeside Hotel, one of the main challenges hotel owners Rico and Stacy have to face is a rising – then overflowing – Lake Constance. Having to issue guests with wellies to get to the restaurant for dinner each night must be in the top ten of every hotel manager’s worst nightmares……

  • Cover Love – with Helen Pryke… #books #amreading

    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…

  • Cover Love – with Rebecca Collins… #books #amreading

    I read recently 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…

  • Coming soon in feel-good fiction… #travel #Switzerland

    A holiday in Switzerland… that was something I’d never experienced when I arrived at Basle Airport on a cold January afternoon in the 1980s. That day, I was all set to work for a year, see something of Europe, learn a new language – and then go home to Scotland. My year turned into decades,…

  • 2022… The best of times and the worst of times #NewYear

    If anything taught us that nothing lasts forever, it was 2022. The moment we got used to the covid numbers going down, up they went again. As soon as we were accustomed to calling one person ‘the prime minister’, someone else was moving into 10 Downing Street. We won’t even mention Twitter. And the Queen,…

  • Classic Comfort Reads… with Maureen Myant

    The idea behind the Classic Comfort posts is that each featured writer chooses a favourite title from the classics – we’ll define ‘classic’ as pre-1940 – and a favourite comfort read, a book they always return to, for whatever reasons. As third book in each post, we’ll have one by the writer. This week, we…
