Not short of news on the writing front either.

On Thursday I’m at the very fancy shindig for the CWA Dagger Awards. I’m on the shortlist for the Dagger in the Library, which is wonderful. I don’t think I’ve much chance of winning it frankly, but it’ll be a great party.

This weekend, 7th July, I’m at the West Meon Festival of Books with Frank Bernard and Seth Hunter talking about Historical Fiction.

Then next weekend I’m talking 18th century murder during the Kelmarsh Festival of History. You can find details of the different talks here.

So now I can settle down to the edits on the latest novel then start my reading for the next which will be another Harriet and Crowther mystery. Only I keep getting distracted when I spot my new wedding ring…
