Many quilts and two bargain #books…
(Scroll down for the bargain books…) It was raining in St Gallen last Monday, so a friend and I decided to go to a museum. The Textile Museum being nearby, we dripped in there and found an exhibition of very photogenic quilts and quilting: I seem to have lost the full version of the one…

This and that… #books #Switzerland
Nearly a week on from publication of Return to the Lakeside Hotel, and life is settling down again in N.E. Switzerland. Huge thanks here to everyone who has tweeted, shared, commented on posts, or bought, borrowed and read books. I’m really pleased to see the ‘Switzerland’ books going out in the world as full length…

Cover Love #books #amreading #coverlove
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…

Springtime in #Switzerland #SilentSunday (almost)…
I took these photos late last month. Remember in Anne of Green Gables, how Matthew goes to the station to collect – he thinks – an orphan boy to work on the farm? He finds Anne, and on the way home they drive along an avenue arched over by fruit trees in bloom, which Anne,…

Chocolate… 🍫
Easter isn’t about confectionary, but for most of us, chocolate is involved somewhere along the way… Chocolate eggs… Chocolate bunny… Chocolate cake… Chocolate buttons… Chocolate ice cream… Chocolate biscuits… Chocolate sandwich… Hot chocolate… Or simply… chocolate… I wish you all a happy and peaceful Easter – with or without the choc!

The ‘A’ books… #A-Z books 📚
This is an adaptation of something I saw on Twitter recently – people were posting 26 books in 26 days, each title beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. (Don’t worry, I’m planning on taking around 26 months to get to Z…) Each month I’ll post a newish book I’ve enjoyed, preferably a friend’s…

Pictures of a book… Stolen Sister
I’ve been holed up in my writing cave for many weeks now, getting the first draft of what will hopefully be book nine down – and yesterday, I typed THE END. (That’s my excuse for the lack of regular blog posts this year…) Meanwhile, book eight, Stolen Sister, is only a few weeks away from…
