A couple of years ago I experimented with audio books. I got three made, but never did anything much to promote them. I’ve just discovered that the free promo codes for the UK and US sites, which I should have used at the time, are still active. If you’d like one, in exchange for leaving an honest review (Audible/Amazon/Goodreads) then let me know. Please state which book, and whether you want UK or US links.

An alpinist is a climber of high mountains (generally, but not necessarily the Alps). I’m not an alpinist.
I don’t know if there’s a word for climbers of not very high mountains, only when it’s sunny, the path doesn’t look too treacherous and regular stops are permitted, but if there is, I’m one of them.
If you use either the UK, or US Amazon store, you can currently buy the first book in my Little Mallow cosy mystery series for a reduced price.
Happy hallowe’en! If you fancy getting into the spirit of hallowe’en but there’s not a ghost of a chance or you reading a really scary book, or you just don’t know witch to choose, then you might enjoy my collections of slightly spooky stories.
Specious means either misleadingly attractive or superficially plausible, but actually wrong.
Custard made with salt instead of sugar would add speciosity to your trifle. An example of speciousness is the specious claim that as chocolate is dervived from plants, a family sized bar of Aero counts as one of your five a day. That’s only true if you choose the orange flavoured one (she adds speciously*)
*mint’s a plant, so green centred Aeros are healthy too.
The cover of my romantic murder mystery, Acting Like A Killer, has had a tweak. Do you like the new look?
A monticule is a small hill. Sounds rather friendly, doesn’t it? The sort of place you’d walk up to enjoy a picnic involving ginger beer and home made cake. A monticule can also be a mini mound caused by a volcano.
Here’s the view from a hill (quite a big one) I climbed up one summer. Recognise it?
Clue … instead of climbing up, you could just swan about down the bottom.
Umbriferous means providing shade.
The depth of Lydford Gorge would make it a pleasantly shady place to walk in summer, even without the umbriferous canopy of vegetation.
I hope to keep this post compendious, that is comprehensive yet fairly brief. To write so compendiously would demonstrate my compendiousness, which would be nice.
Cakes are also nice (and round here they’re comprehensively dealt with in a very brief time).
Here’s another opportunity to sign up to author newsletters, and download a free book from each of them.
