This was my first novel, written during NaNoWriMo 2012 and published in 2013. I reissued it in 2021 with a new cover and interior.
My second novel, "The Players" was published in 2021. The cover photo is of my grandmother, Violet, and I just love it!
The latest Ten Penners anthology, published 2023.
The third Ten Penners anthology, and the second one I was involved in, published 2017.
The second Ten Penners anthology, and my first experience of self publishing (although it was a little different in 2009!). It was very exciting to see stories I'd written being published in a real book!
Some years ago (2007!), I completed my Diploma of Professional Writing (Crime, Mystery & Suspense Writing). The novel I began during that course ("Death Can Be Terminal") was finally completed during Camp NaNoWriMo, April 2014. You can't rush these things! During NaNoWriMo 2017, I wrote a sequel entitled "Death Can Be Messy". The books feature a crime scene cleaner called Billie Maxwell. I was inspired by Janet Evanovich's "Stephanie Plum" series - in that the Billie Maxwell books are comic crime novels. At least I hope they're funny!
The year I realised I could actually write a whole novel - NaNoWriMo 2012. This book was renamed "Shadow of a Soldier" and published in 2013.
