Happy Valley Pride Event!

[image error]A quick heads up for anyone living within shouting distance of the lesbian mecca that is Hebden Bridge (that’s in Yorkshire, UK, for those not in the know!) I’ll be reading and chatting about book stuff as part of a Happy Valley Pride event that’s being held on Tuesday 8th August from 7pm. Jen Silver, Brey Willows, Lise Gold and Robyn Nyx will be joining me in the hot seat. It’s a free for all in a very pretty village, and you can find out more details at this link.

Audio Book Giveaway!

[image error]It would seem that audio books are a bit like buses – you wait for ages for one to come along and then two bolt up in quick succession. Yes, hot on the heels of Desolation Point, No Good Reason is now available on ear-book! Both are whisper-synched with Kindle so you can add the audio versions to a Kindle purchase for only a few quid.

To celebrate, I have five freebie Audible codes to give away for both releases. Just comment on here or head to my Facebook page and “like” or comment on the po...

Out with the Old… – New Year’s Eve on shift with a Paramedic

New Year’s Eve 2016 falls on the third of my four weekend night shifts, which means I wander onto station in a pleasant haze of sleeplessness, with a nonexistent short-term memory. Festive cheer has bedecked the main table with assorted foodstuffs, while the generally inedible company-issue sandwich packs (for morale!) have been rammed into the fridge. I’m working with K, my best mate, who recently qualified as a paramedic. We stock up on essentials – chocolate, crisps, more chocolate – and,...

‘Cold to the Touch’ Wins a Rainbow Award

[image error]Shift work does funny things to your brain, so it was a genuine surprise to turn my phone on first thing Thursday morning and find out that Cold to the Touch had snagged the 2016 Rainbow Award for Best Lesbian Thriller/Mystery. The surprise was twofold, 1) because I’d got the dates mixed up and hadn’t expected the results for another 24 hours, and 2) because the book was up against some damn stiff competition in its category.Coldalso placed third in Lesbian Fiction overall, which is bloody go...

One Last Huzzah

I’ll be celebrating the arrival of 2017 for two reasons: first and foremost because it will be an absolute joy to kick 2016 in the arse and consign it to the rubbish heap, and secondly because January 2017 sees the publication of A Quiet Death, the third and probably final adventure for Detective Sanne Jensen and her BFF Dr. Meg Fielding.

At the moment I’m basking in that wonderful post-editing, post-proofing glow, where the story is done and dusted, and I’ve approved the cover, written the b...
