This snapshot of life in the 1970s with the Yorkshire Ripper at large is a fascinating read which bubbles with tension throughout by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social  I’m a bit late to the party, only just getting round to reading this book. Thanks to @jackstrangeauthor.bsky.social for selling me a copy!

Getting to see the cast of Poirot reunited and the full “Whitehaven Four” on stage was really very special!

Going to G-A-Y at The Astoria was what got me hooked on “lost” theatres. While everyone else was dancing the night away, I was always intrigued by the building itself – all the old features obscured behind thick layers of black paint.

I go to the gym to get fit, but I’ll also park as close as I can to the front door so I don’t have to walk as far…

When a night out at the theatre can cost you upwards of £250 🎟️… 99p for several evening’s worth of entertainment doesn’t seem that bad, does it? Death on the Pier, my 1930s murder mystery set in a theatre, is currently a Kindle Monthly Deal!

Death on the Pier is back to being a bestseller again, two years after publication! Mainly due to the fact it’s currently a Kindle Monthly Deal. Don’t miss out getting your copy for just 99p bit.ly/4gVnMrM

99p this January! Death on the Pier has been picked as a Kindle Monthly Deal. That means you have just one month to get a copy at this bargain price. Cosy up with this golden-age style mystery set in 1930s theatreland.

My favourite mystery of the year was Murder at the Matinee by @jamiewestauthor.co.uk, who takes all of the classic elements of a Golden Age mystery, weaves in a modern sensibility, adds in a slow-burn love story (read Death on the Pier first!), and then brings it all together elegantly. Outstanding.

If anyone wants to know about 4-track cassette recorders, I’ve just spent a morning looking into them for my current WIP 😂 (I remember “bouncing” down tracks to free up space when I was recording at college!) Now I’m going to write a chapter that has absolutely nothing to do with them…

I read this earlier in the year and it’s absolutely brilliant! Part adventure, part historical, part murder mystery. It weaves together the lives of three women in a brilliantly evocative tale. Anyone about to receive a copy of this proof, you’re very lucky 💛

Just finished my first ever short story (for a competition)… Two words off the max word count! Is it pedantic of me to want to add two extra words now?
