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.

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.
