A huge thank you to all of you who have agreed to receive notification when my letter is published. Also a special thank you for popping along and catching up with what's going on in my world.
I hope the last months have been great for you and those who live in the northern hemisphere you all have had a great summer and relaxing holidays.
And, those living down under are looking forward to spring, warmth and the colours of spring.
For me, it's been up and down!
Sadly, throughout July and part of of August I suffered with shingles!
I had no idea you could get them twice!
I had them 14 years ago and thought that would be the end of it... but no!
Despite this, wonderful things have happened.
The third book in my Gardner & Chattaway cosy mystery series was published at the end of August. All the details are below.
Also with little training over the last two months, I still did the Norwich 10k on 8th September - a hot and sunny day! It was very tough, but I ran through the finishing line and was handed my medal. Pic below.
So, it wasn't all bad and there were many things to smile about and enjoy.

Books Worth Checking Out!
Button Box:
When Susan and Baxter fall into the employ of Bram Jarvis, a man with revenge on his mind, they are soon caught up in strange new adventures. Meanwhile, old enemies are still on the loose.
Susan time slips between two very different worlds. Her everyday present is at home and school but by night she has a magical past in Victorian London. There Baxter, a Pearly King coster boy and rat catcher, has taken her under his wing. Children alone in the crowded city, Baxter’s trades bring them into unusual company across a richly varied society.
Each of her worlds is just as real to Susan, who never knows what might happen next in either of them during the twists and turns of this exciting sequel to Button Box.

Northaw
by Michael Reidy
Northaw is the recently-discovered first novel by Alabama-born Ben Nitaokpulo who tragically died in 2020, aged 40. Part Choctaw, Nitaokpulo eschewed being referred to anything but American, and it was traveling writing about America was what he loved best. His blog, “Following the Path,” had a dedicated following, and his first book Who’d Want to Live Here? (2016) brought some of those pieces to a more paper-based audience.
He followed that with three novels that drew on his strong sense of place. Northern Noise (2017), The Girl from Rapid City (2019) and the posthumously published Black Warriors (2021) furthered his reputation as a story teller.
Following his death, fellow blogger and friend, Cordelia “Dolly” Madison, was convinced that there was another book, written before Northern Noise that lay somewhere undiscovered. The story of Northaw’s discovery is told in her own blog, “Alabama Dreaming”, and divers magazine articles.
A mysterious girl and a forgotten plantation mansion in antebellum Alabama form the foundation of this tale of a family, a homestead, and a river, all meandering along unaware of the turbulence just beyond the horizon.
Available in Kindle & paperback
