Last November, I was in Whitby doing a little extra research for Death at the Seaside, the eighth Kate Shackleton novel, to be published as a paperback original on 6 October 2016.

Whitby is a former whaling port, once home to Captain James Cook, eighteenth century explorer, navigator and cartographer. I climbed the 199 steps from the old town to the parish church of St Mary’s, where George III attended Sunday services du...

Geraldine I can't wait! Reading your books has sparked my latent interest in the period. Furthermore, I have just become interested in the history of the seaside. So it's like this book is written with me in mind. I'm looking forward to it greatly.

Carol I'm jealous I can't participate in the book give away. What about one for your USA fans?

Frances Brody Carol, thanks for your message. I do believe I mentioned this to my US publicist so I hope it might happen. Will check with them again.

Have just done so and it may happen. At present there's a time lag between the UK and USA and the next US publication will be Death of an Avid Reader. The link isn't live yet but there'll be a giveaway on Kings River Life magazine this week: http://kingsriverlife.com/

Yes, I love it! It's based on the old railway posters and captures the spirit of Whitby. I'm very fortunate to have such a good artist working on the covers.


message 7: by Karen (new)

Karen Jones i will be early in line for this one! any idea when it will be released in the US? i managed to get "death of an avid reader" and "death in the dales" shipped from the uk. i may have to go that way again due to the lag in release dates here.

love your books!!!


message 8: by Frances (new)

Frances Brody Karen, if my calculations are correct, I think Death at the Seaside will be released in the US this time next year and that UK and US publication dates will come into line by 2018.
So glad you love the books.
Thank you!! :-)
