My second cosy crime novel set in Scarborough CURTAIN CALL AT THE SEAVIEW HOTEL is out in MAY in ebook, hardback and audiobook (paperback in August), see https://bit.ly/CurtainCallAtTheSeaviewHotel.
Plus, my seventh saga - and my first Christmas book - set in Ryhope 1919, A MOTHER'S CHRISTMAS WISH is out in August in ebook, hardback and audiobook (paperback in October) see http://bit.ly/AMothersChristmasWish.
My novel THE TUPPENNY CHILD set in 1919 celebrates the Irish tradition of 'Nollaig na mBan' or the Women's Christmas, which takes place on January 6th. I can't thank my Dublin friend Emma Hynes enough for alerting me to this magical tradition. It's a perfect read for this time of year. See http://bit.ly/TheTuppennyChild

My novel THE MINER'S LASS was given a wonderful mention in the Daily Mirror by writer and political commentator Paul Routledge. What an honour that was! Find out more about the book at http://bit.ly/TheMinersLass
