Easter seems a good time to tell you the origin of the term 'Easter egg', meaning a hidden message inside something. And there are plenty of Easter eggs inside my new book Nothing For Something: The Violet Charlesworth Story, which appropriately has a release this week. 😊

Next weekend is a busy one - online workshop on Saturday 26th, in-person session at Bournemouth Writing Festival on Sunday 27th April! Year 5 of Elspells Writing Feedback is off to a great start 😊 ✍ elspells.com #WritingCommunity #amwriting

A reminder that if you like cozy crime, you'll love MURDER IN A COUNTRY VILLAGE, a stand-alone in my Edie York WW2 series. A body in the Peaks, a commune of conscientious objectors, a missing evacuee and a mysterious decoy town. Perfect Easter reading!
