my new cover has arrived!
It is always exciting when the final version of a cover arrives. This one is rather different to the others because it is black and white. Most of my books are brightly coloured and stand out from other crime novels on the shelf. This time the title and the contents suited a more sombre approach and I am very happy with the result - a view across the Gunnerside meadows in Swaledale, intersected bylines of stone walls.

Writing is a solitary activity but it is an important part of the job to meet readers and the public in general. Squirming in bookshops when no-one wants to know you and preparing for a talk to a group of ladies who lunch. On Sunday I spoke to about a hundred visitors to the Dales Festival of Food & Drink in Leyburn, N. Yorkshire in a marquee - following the Reeth band performance. The microphone meant I couldn't tell if I was speaking loudly enough but no-one said otherwise. I told complete strangers about my childhood and why I became a writer. They clapped politely and a line formed for my signature. A woman asked about her son's career in science & a man tried to sell me some natural remedy for the illness I recovered from six years ago. It was a fairly typical day meeting the public and one I thoroughly enjoyed.
