Greetings from a crisp & sunny Bristol,
To say it’s been a tad busy the last week or so is an understatement. I’m pleased to say that some of it has been getting Meredith & Hodge on the move in A Measure of Guilt, some has been the outline of the next Bearing Witness – currently titled In Time of Need – and believe it or not, a rough sketch of the characters in the next in the Murder Tour series – Whatever Happened to Rosie Webber (again this is only a working title), and talking of the Murder Tour, the Beta reader feedback is coming in (Thank you to all of you who volunteered) for Who Killed Charlie Birch? and here are a few of their comments:
I loved this book. I cannot wait to get a review written. A complete comedy of errors. I had to go back and read all the interviews again. This book will be on my mind for a while.
I loved it! I wasn’t sure at first because as you say, it’s different to your normal books, but it drew me in and I liked the style and the characters.
Loved every minute, it got me so involved . . . it was like watching it on tv, the characters drew you in and you couldn’t put it down. I loved the comedy in it and all the twists and turns
Different in style and tone to M&H, and the Bearing women, nonetheless an excellent read, and full of the twists and turns expected of you as the writer . . . loved the little epilogues at the end of the chapter detailing Charlie’s wrongdoings . . .

Hodge, which many of you are chasing me for, but still, it’s finished. And, I will confess that eighty per cent of it was written quite a while ago, but most of it had to be rewritten or tweaked, so I’m counting it. It was going to be a one off, but I might just pull together a mini-series, as I have a couple of ideas for stories with a similar set up. The working title is An Unexpected Turn of Events, but it’s more likely going to end up being called, Who Killed Charlie Birch? Which of these two titles would grab your attention in the first instance?
US & UK. I only have a limited number so it will be first come first served. I also have a number of codes on all the
gave her poor old mum more than a rough time before she finally put in an appearance. But I’m sure like the rest of the family, mum and dad now think those hours . . . and . . . hours and hours were worth it! Here she is a few days old, the bruising from the forceps almost gone. She is, without a doubt, one of the prettiest newborns I have ever seen. All I want now are my cuddles, not sure how long it will be before I get them . . . but let’s not go back there.
glorious sunshiny days, to just about bearable heatwave (for us), to spectacular thunder storms. We are currently in a lull and if it wasn’t for the temperature, when you look out of the window, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was November. That’s the weather dealt with! I’m not going to talk about the pandemic, I think we all hear enough about that, other than to say, whatever your views, I hope you and yours stay safe.
