Word of Mouth
I have a story in the current issue of Take A Break’s Fiction Feast. You may have read that the magazine is using stories which have been created with AI assistance. That’s true, but as far as I’m aware, that only applies to those credited to the fiction team. I wrote mine myself, without AI (I never use it) and I know the same is true of several other named authors. They’re friends of mine, and in some cases I read early drafts of the stories.

Out now!
My latest short story collection is out now.

As with my other books, you can buy Tea & Biscuits as an ebook or paperback, read through KU, order from your local bookshop, or request it in the library – again in paperback or ebook form.

I’m number 1!
Weeeellll, my free little collection of short stories is currently number 1 in one of the categories Amazon have placed it in. You can download it (for free) here.

Vivlio
Do you use Vivlio? If so, you can download lots of my short stories, including this free one.
We have our new office!
After many setbacks and delays, our office is finally finished. I don’t recommend Sharps Fitted Furniture, unless you actually enjoy stress and being constantly let down, when it comes to supplying what you paid for. However, thanks to Simon the fitter who worked really hard to get the job done, we’re pleased with the result.
Roses, roses, roses
Here are a few of the wonderful roses at Mottisfont Abbey gardens in Hampshire, England. This is our nearest National Trust property, so we go fairly often. It’s beautiful and romantic. I’ve already set a short story there (which is included in this collection). Now I’m thinking it would be a great location for a scene in one of my cosy crime novels – it’s even closer to Little Mallow than to our home.

More views! These are all places on Islay where we’ve spent the night, or stopped for tea / meal breaks in the mobile writing retreat.
