Thank you so much for leaving a comment. It's wonderful that you enjoyed reading my book. Stromford is inspired by Lincoln. My latest series featuring Warwick & Bell is set in the real Lincoln.
You stay safe too. Janice

Hi Maureen
Thank you for the feedback. It's lovely to hear when someone has enjoyed reading my books.
I've taken a rest from Merry & Neal to concentrate on a new series set in Lincoln. It features two chalk and cheese protagonists, SPC Bell and DI Steph Warwick. The first book in this series, Murder Among Friends was published in November 2020 by Joffe Books. I'm hoping the second in the series will be published later this year.
To answer your question, yes, I do hope to return to Merry & Neal as I'm missing their company!
Kind regards,
Janice

Hi Graham,
Thank you so much for getting in touch. I'm really pleased you enjoyed my book. Stromford/shire is an imaginery city, but it is inspired by Lincoln/shire where I have lived for over twenty years. A lot of people have noticed the similarites between the two cities! Yes, Lincoln cathedral was a beacon of home for returning bombers. I thought that as Stromford is an East Midlands city, why not Stromford Cathedral too! I live very near Scampton air base. Our local pub was used by airmen during WWII.

Hi Gary,
Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to you. So pleased you enjoyed reading my books. I'm currently working on a standalone mystery novel, which, I hope will be published in the Spring. I'm planning on writing Book 6 of the Merry & Neal series this year, so, with luck, you won't have too long to wait.

Hi Tineke,
Thank you for your kind words.
There will definitely be another Jim and Ava book. I'm hard at work on number five at the moment and making very good progress, so hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.
Neal and Ava are still skirting around their feelings for each other and I honestly don't know what direction they will take! Time will tell!
Thank you so much for reading my books and taking the time to comment. I Iove hearing what my readers think. Janice

Hi Bronwen,
My apologies for not replying to you sooner. I've had to take a break from writing for a couple of months to help care for my mum, who sadly died last month. I was about a quarter of the way through the next book in the series and will be working hard on it again soon. With luck it will be ready later this year. Janice

Hi Ken, Great to hear you are enjoying the Neal and Merry books. I do live near Lincoln and it's probably true to say that the setting for my books takes its inspiration from Lincoln and the surrounding countryside. I decided against using a real city/county so that I could be free to invent or change details to suit my stories. Some people tell me that they enjoy working out where the locations are, but I do appreciate that for others, a realistic setting is preferable. Maybe I'll use a real city for a different series. Many thanks for your comments. I enjoy reading feedback from readers. Best wishes, Janice Frost

Hi Brenda,
Really glad you liked the book. Have you read the first book in the series, Dead Secret? I'm busy working on the third book and hope it will be available early in 2017. Janice
