Joy, more a comment than a question. I absolutely love your books and characters. Thank you for providing such excellent entertainment. I'd love to visit the Fens, it sounds other worldly. It must be difficult to keep coming up with new plots?

Hello Deb, So pleased that you are enjoying the books! The Fens are a little different to most places, some people love them, others hate it! Sadly, as happens to so many places, the villages are being extended by lots of added housing and I've noticed a big change in the twenty years I've been here. But still, if you know where to look, those desolate places still exist, and no one can build on our amazing skyscapes! New plots? It gets a little more difficult to keep new ideas coming in, but then I've now written 24 books! (Two of which are in editing and will be out later this year) so I do admit I have to make the little grey cells work harder these days! You take care, all the best, Joy x

I think they’re fabulous, much more life like, and there’s no nastiness at top level (sure this isn’t the case in real life?) I think Nikki is my favourite and Joe, but really can’t put a pin between them. Just what we all need in isolation. Thank you for brightening our lives in these troubled times x

Well what a delight to find your books! I have finished your 1st and now have 3 more waiting. I am not familiar with the fens and its environment. What is it like? Who lives there? Is it peaceful? I of course am googling it but thought as a resident and author who lives there you could shed a first person perspective. Thanks for your writing!
