Classic Comfort Reads… with Georgia Rose
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…

#amwriting in a heatwave… #summer ’22
It’s been hottish, these past few weeks. I’ve often wished my ‘writing cave’ was a real cave, deep in a windswept cliff, perhaps, with lovely cold water running down the walls and bats flapping in and out. Or maybe not. I have two very different writing projects on the go at the moment. Think black…

I #amwriting, #travel in Switzerland and a Chill award!
It’s been a busy week here in N.E Switzerland. On Monday, I travelled to Zürich to meet up with writing friends Louise Mangos – who’s coming on the blog later this month with her choice of Classic Comfort books – and Alison Baillie. As usual, we wasted no time in setting the entire publishing world…

Not such a happy coincidence…
As coincidences go, it was a big one, and it nearly meant that one of my books wasn’t finished, never mind published. Going back a couple of years, I was watching a TV programme called The Heir Hunters, which was about a team of people who searched for relatives of those who died inestate. The…
