The last few days I have been busy setting up my Editorial Services, named The Accomplice because my mission is to aid and abet readers and writers to have fun creating as well as to indulge in productive procrastination

It’s completely the wrong time of year – a time when I’d usually be sinking into hibernation – and yet I finally feel as if I am waking up. Moving house twice during a pandemic is not something I’d recommend to anyone. If you have lupus, as I do, it’s really not a good idea. …
I can’t quite believe it’s been six years now since we saw Kate Bush. Given the ill health which has messed me about before and since, I swear I will never complain about her timing – even though we did have to wait thirty five years between concerts. The first time we saw Kate perform …
I was asked this question earlier today, and I started to write… It turned into a bit of long, mad ramble! How very me… So here it is. Feel free to disagree, or to add in anything I’ve missed – whether it’s a favourite crime writer or another subgenre, or a different demographic. As I …

At least, since 14th February 1979… Ryan, my then boyfriend, had failed his Uni exams the year before, purely co-incidentally three weeks before the end of summer term, at around the time we got together. He’d gone back home and found a series of jobs while waiting for permission to retake the year, and somehow …
As I am dilly-dallying about starting work on my third novel, I am casting around for inspiration, waiting for a couple of ideas to collide in a way that sparks my interest – enough to keep me going for at least a year. Looking back, I can see more clearly what the first two novels …
I do apologise. I don’t think I’ll ever manage a more clickbaity blog title. As I’m still not well enough to attend any of the book launch events, I had to do something to have a little fun. So I’ve been doing some baking. Gluten- free, of course. First, the naked cookies. I do confess …
