A few numbers on my upcoming book release

A scenic walk in nature isn’t Addison Harper’s idea of a good time, but with Sergeant Jake Murphy leading the way, he’s willing to give it a go.

After a picnic as delicious as his date, things are really looking up – that is, until Addison stumbles over something in the undergrowth. Bad news: it’s a dead body. Worse news: it’s his ex. A...

My local bookstore sold out of The Milverton Mysteries (again!)

I was only in store two weeks ago dropping off a stack of books and they’re already gone! I’m so pleased Palmerston North residents and visitors are enjoying the books and that they’re supporting my local independent bookstore!

Home Truths by Charity Norman

Plenty of laughs, gasps, and applause for Charity Norman at the library last night!

We were kept captivated with tales of her books, life, family, courtroom dramas, crossing the Sahara in the back of a clapped-out ex-army truck, and how she ended up in Central Hawke’s Bay. The hour flew by! I was sure to nab a copy of her latest, Home Truths, which Charity very generously signed it for me too.

Huge thanks to Charity, the Palmerston North City Librarians, Allen & Unwin, and Paper Plus f...
