My Review Oh no, DI Hillary Greene is retiring! Luckily she isn’t off on her canal boat quite yet, and this latest installment kept me amused on a long plane journey. There is a nice reflective tone to this book, and it balances well with Hillary’s feisty character. Despite having misgivings about giving up her…read more May Book Review… Murder at Work by Faith Martin

April Book Review… Murder by Fire by Faith Martin
My Review… Another great offering from the brilliant Faith Martin. I think this is slightly darker and more complex than the others I have read in the same series.

My kids are a bit older now, so they understand that this is ‘work’, but that doesn’t stop them from wandering in and out,…read more Be Quiet… I’m trying to Write!
‘Writing is just a Hobby… Isn’t it?’
I have lost count of the number of times people have said this to me, and each time it annoys me. Writing can indeed be a hobby, and there is nothing wrong with that, but for me, and for many, many of my fellow authors, writing is a business. It can be writing books, journalism,…read more ‘Writing is just a Hobby… Isn’t it?’
