I appreciate it’s a weird thing to do, having spent most of my adult life seeking out conventional publishers (and occasionally finding them) but, having finally reached the age where bits of me are falling off/seizing up/dropping dead, I have decided to reclaim most of my titles and stick to self-publishing from now on. ItContinue reading “A Mad Move to Self-publishing”

The Unravelling: Time and Place
My third novel, The Unravelling was published by Honno in 2016. My protagonist, Karen, does visit Wales in one chapter, but the book is largely centred on a council estate in Lyford, which was also a setting for my second novel Motherlove. Lyford is fictional, but it’s based on Luton, where I grew up. ThatContinue reading “The Unravelling: Time and Place”
Cold In The Earth review
I am very grateful for this review by Sally Cronin on her Smorgasbord blog.
The Other Newport
If adverts are to be believed, some families celebrate together with scratch cards (I am not entirely convinced of this ancient tradition). My family is stingier. We take a walk. When I lived in Luton, the ritual family walk was usually from Ashridge monument, down the Chiltern scarp to the ever-so-picturesque village of Aldbury (thatch,Continue reading “The Other Newport”
A TIME FOR SILENCE: first love
A TIME FOR SILENCE. It wasn’t my first novel by a long chalk, but it was the first to be published. Like Jane Austen, you see (and I do try to bring her into as many posts as possible). She wrote several books, including FIRST IMPRESSIONS, which later became PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, before she wasContinue reading “A TIME FOR SILENCE: first love”
Cold In The Earth
Lovely to see this review and promotion of Cold In The Earth on Sally Cronin’s Smorgasbord magazine.
Judith Barrow’s review of Cold in the Earth. My first!
New Book: COLD IN THE EARTH
Today’s the day when my latest novel (psychological crime) is officially available from Amazon, as paperback and e-book. COLD IN THE EARTH. Yes I know the title’s been used before but then so have all my titles, and I really needed this one because of the way Emily Brontë’s poem continues, especially the third verse:Continue reading “New Book: COLD IN THE EARTH”
The Power of Water
Write what you know, they say. Actually, I don’t believe it. I’d go with “write what you can imagine.” But sometimes experience can be a spur to the imagination. There is a scene in my latest book, COLD IN THE EARTH, due out on Thursday, 7th November, which was inspired by my own experiences livingContinue reading “The Power of Water”
Body of Evidence. Part II
A murder happens, the culprit is caught, convicted and sent down. The case is closed and we are done with it. But that isn’t always the case for the victims and certainly not for their surviving loved ones. Here are four murder victims. Apart from being murdered, what do they have in common? The ultimateContinue reading “Body of Evidence. Part II”
