My latest book, A Wild Moon Rises, came out on 1^st August and not long after that I took part in a podcast with two other Affinity authors. If you want to hear me reading from the book and answering some questions, here are the links: Short version / Long version. Chatting with the podcast hosts, Ali Spooner and Annette Mori, was great fun. They’ve done quite a few podcasts now with authors and audio book narrators. So it’s worth checking out their YouTube Triple A Storytelling channel and subscribing.

Travels in August included a trip to Vindolanda. Absorbing the atmosphere of the ongoing archaeological site is always a thrill for me. I like to keep up with all their new discoveries.

My wife and I stopped overnight at a nearby hotel with well-tended gardens and excellent food, celebrating our 37^th anniversary of living together. (I’m doing my gnome impression sitting under a tree.)

A peaceful scene of sheep grazing in Sedbergh. We were making the obligatory stop at Westwood Books on our way home…a fine selection of books, old and new.

Is it January already? Time for another blog. A dreary January day seems ideal for a reflection on the wonderful time we had over Christmas. We’ve spent a few Christmases at Lake Windermere. This year was lovely, as it always is, regardless of the weather. Christmas Eve and Boxing Day were both wet days, but Christmas Day the sun came out.

This was a contrast to the same place ten years earlier when we made snowbears by the lakeside.

Clare Lydon invited lesbian fiction authors to take part in a Festive Lesbian Book Club Podcast. I was happy to answer her questions and this was the result with myself, Jae, Clare Ashton, Melissa Tereze, Lise Gold, Jody Klaire and SR Silcox answering the following questions: First, favourite lesfic of the year. Second, favourite festive lesfic ever. Third, what we’re hoping for from Santa. Fourth, what we like to eat & drink at Christmas. Finally, our publishing plans for 2020. Clare also added her own answers to the questions.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thank you to everyone who took advantage of Affinity’s December sale and bought copies of Christmas at Winterbourne, as well as the other books on sale during the month. Always worth checking out the Affinity Raingbow Publications website for free books and special offers. Subscribers to their newsletter can also benefit from the monthly flash sales.

2020 is starting out slowly for me. But it will be picking up speed in the next few weeks. I’ll be doing edits for my book due out in March – Country Living. Nicola Victoria Vincent has started recording Starting Over which will be the second one of my books to make it into audio. And I’m working on a new novel!

So let’s get on with more happy writing, reading, and listening this year!
