  • On the other side of the Alps… #travel #SilentSunday

    On Friday, a friend and I set off (very) early to visit another friend in the Ticino – Locarno, to be exact. It was a fabulous day: Don’t forget, Saving the Lakeside Hotel is on pre-order at 99p/c with dp Books, and will be out in ten days or so. By summer, all five ebooks…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Can we start summer again, please? #travel (not…)

    And I’m not (only) talking about the weather, though goodness knows, it hasn’t made life any easier this year. You won’t want to read LONG descriptions of writerly and other woes, so I’ll just make a nice list and then go on to the (all-too-short) better parts of the season. (I won’t be offended if…

  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Autumn in Switzerland #SilentSunday

    Almost silent, anyway… As you see, the website is still a work in progress, but I have three lovely autumn photos from Pixabay today. I’ve been to all these places, though not always at this time of year. First up is Tarasp Castle in Lower Engadin, S.E. Switzerland. A different scene below – Geneva and…

  • Book Bargain #99p/c and a gorgeous chalet pic #travel

    Christmas at the Lakeside Hotel is out now and a bargain at 99p or equivalent – this won’t last long, so grab it while it’s hot! Meanwhile, book 1 in the series, Saving the Lakeside Hotel is in Amazon Prime Reading in the UK at the moment, so if you have Prime, you can download…

  • Book news – and other things… #travel #books

    I didn’t keep the date of the day when I first saw my (pen) name in print. I couldn’t even tell you the year, now, but it was in the 1990s and it was a short story in The People’s Friend, the first of 50-60 stories and articles I wrote for them and a couple…
