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…

A re-release, kindle bargains and a Zeppelin… #books #travel
It’s been a busy week… Starting with the book news – The Attic Room is now re-released by the lovely people at DP Books and is currently available for just 99p on kindle. It’s the start of a trio of my books in a new ‘Family Secrets’ series. (Next up is Ward Zero, which is…

Coming soon… #books
Not quite a new book, but definitely the next best thing – I’m delighted that DP Books, the UK arm of a large German digital publisher, will be re-releasing three of my older suspense novels over the next few weeks. First up is The Attic Room, originally published in 2015. The pre-order is running already,…

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…

Pictures of Switzerland… #books
We’re getting beautiful spring weather here in N.E. Switzerland – it’s lovely to be able to get out and about without packing woolly hats and gloves and scarves. Last week, a friend and I went to the Würth Haus in Rorschach, where the new exhibition is ‘Sport and Free Time’. The exhibits were many and…

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…

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…
