Not long now...

Today saw the final touches made to the cover art for A Dangerous Quality, the first book of the Veronica Nash murder-mystery series. Thanks to the cover artist, the talented Martine Jardine, the cover looks pretty much as I imagined my heroine to be. The publication date is due this Autumn. Watch this page for an announcement soon.

Edit to the Limit...

The edits for A Dangerous Quality, the first book of the Veronica Nash murder-mysteries set in the 1920s, are complete. The galleys have gone through a thorough check and returned. All that remains is for the cover art to be approved and a date for release set by my publisher, Devine Destinies. 

This series has been a labour of love for a long time, through the trials and tribulations of everyday life - and I think everyone knows how that's so unsettled these days. I look forward to sharing the release with you all soon. In the meantime, stay safe!

Writing 'The End.'

It's always satisfying to write those words on the first draft of a novel! The shelter-in-place order we're living under is a mixed blessing for me. Yes, we can't go out unless for essentials, but it also allowed me plenty of time to write. Appropriately enough for Shakespeare's birthday, a volume of his works features prominently in the new story.

Life in the Time of Coronavirus

This isn't the most regular of blogs. I see the last post I wrote here was three years ago. Ouch! So, I'll try to update at least every week or so from now on.

The Corvid-19 pandemic afflicting the world is a mixed blessing to writers and artists. Many people are finding the enforced quarantine and restricted movement a burden, for which I sympathise. Not being the most extroverted of people I'm tolerating the isolation better than most. It allows me a bit more time to work on manuscripts without distractions, and even time to create a blog post now and again. I'll also have a nice piece of news to share later regarding a new book series, but more of that anon.

In the meantime, I hope everyone stays safe. Hunker down, observe the measures against the pandemic, and see you on the other side.
