Blog post2020 has been what I’ve seen described as a ‘train wreck’ of a year and one in which, for the first time ever in my writing career, my writing mojo completely deserted me and the fourth book in my Much Winchmoor series which had been galloping along at a cracking pace slithered to an ungainly halt.
I know I was not alone in this and there’s a brilliant explanation of why I, like so many suffered from what I think of as ‘pandemic brain fog’ on an excellent blog called The Killzon -
Blog postIt is my great pleasure to welcome historical novelist Sally Zigmond to my blog this week. I featured Sally in my Ideas Store column in the December 2020 Issue of Writers’ Forum magazine in which I asked her where she got the idea for her novel, The Lark Ascending, which I had recently read and enjoyed.
She explained how a shopping trip on a snowy January day was the inspiration behind the book which is set in Leeds just after WW1.
“When we lived in Harrogate I often sho -

Blog postIt gives me great pleasure to welcome historical novelist Kate Braithwaite to my blog this week.
I don’t often read historical novels but during a blitz on my Kindle app the other day I found Kate’s Road to Newgate that had been languishing there for far too long. I moved it to the top of my To Be Read list.
And I am so glad I did. I loved it! So much so that I featured Kate recently in my Ideas Store column in Writers’ Forum but have a longer – and fascinating- in -
Blog postWhen I was searching around for something to write about in my column in the current issue of Writers’ Forum, I turned to my often used source for inspiration, my old notebooks.
I have kept journals, diaries and notebooks most of my life. Many of the earlier ones were thrown away but one of the oldest to survive was a diary that I kept the year I was taking my ‘O’ Levels when I was, it seemed, far more interested in the boys on the school bus than I was in my schoolwork. F -
Blog postI am now well in to Book 4 of my Much Winchmoor Mysteries. It’s going pretty well and I’m having so much fun catching up with all the old characters and mixing them up with a few new ones.
I have the murder method, the murderer, the victim and, of course, an entire shoal of red herrings to, hopefully, mislead my readers. I have the ongoing romance between my main character, Kat, and her long suffering boyfriend, Will plus an added complication in the shape of a tall, good -

Blog postIt’s a great pleasure to welcome fellow crime writer, Robert Crouch, to my blog this week.
I first ‘met’ Robert on the UK Crime Book Club on Facebook. This is a brilliant group (link here) whose almost 11,000 members include a mix of readers and writers, including some very well known crime writers.
The site was set up in 2016 by David Gilchrist with the aim of discussing and promoting the work of (mostly) UK crime writers and is one of my favourite Fa -
Blog postHave you ever read a review for a book that’s not your usual choice of genre, but tried it on the strength of a review? I did that recently when I read a review of Audrey Davis’s book, The Haunting of Hattie Hastings.
I don’t usually read books with anything remotely ‘supernatural’ in the title, but I’m so glad I made an exception for this one. It’s a lovely story, told with wit and charm with an array of interesting characters and some real laugh out loud moments.

Blog postDuke – an update Our 9 year old rescue Dalmatian, Duke, has caused us a lot of worry when he had to have emergency spinal surgery in November and has since had to learn to walk again. His recovery is slow, which as anyone who knows Dalmatians will appreciate is not something that comes naturally to them. But, thanks to the skill of the nurses and surgeons at Langford Veterinary College and loads of physio and hydrotherapy he is getting there. Our biggest challenge is keeping him quiet

Blog postI’m delighted to welcome to my blog this week psychological thriller writer and fellow Dalmatian lover, Diane Saxon. I was attracted to Diane’s book, The Keeper, when I learned it featured a Dalmatian. And it’s a really good read. I would have enjoyed it even if it didn’t have a Dalmatian in it – the … Continue reading Where does psychological thriller writer Diane Saxon get her ideas from?
