I’m delighted to have stories in both My Weekly and Woman’s Weekly, this week. That sort of thing hasn’t happened in a long time. That’s partly because, since I started work on my cosy mystery novel series, I’ve not written so many short stories.

With This Ring is a crime story in Woman’s Weekly. It’s years since I’ve had a story in this magazine, as for quite some time they wanted all rights to my stories, and I wouldn’t sign a contract giving them up. It was a blow to lose what was my biggest market at the time, but I still feel I did the right thing sticking to my principles.
It’s appropriate then that Carly, the main character in this story, also does the right thing – eventually.

Perfect Petals in My Weekly is a story about flowers. The title and that gorgeous illustration probably already told you that much, but I won’t say more just in case I spoil the ending for you.
