As spring edges its way slowly into Devon, we have a few different photos.

In Exeter, Southernhay East and the parallel road Southernhay West are locations in the upcoming Devonshire mystery. The streets looked rather fine in the sunlight, and that puddle of purple beneath the trees is a patch of crocuses.

We also have some shots of the Teign valley, including Lottie of course.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

Barnes and Noble Press List Their Favourite Indie Books

The fine people at Barnes & Noble Press have posted their current top five indie books, and Murder Between the Tides made the cut.

I was very excited to see one of my books peeping out from the other for books, including one co-authored by a certain Mr. King.

It’s always lovely to see my work recognised, so this made my day.

Here’s a snippet from their blog:

What People are Saying: A charming setting brings to life a new case in the traditional British mystery style. For fans of Agatha Christie,...

Devonshire Mystery ebook Sale – February 2022

I’m having a sale on the first few books in the Devonshire Mysteries series.

I don’t often reduce the prices of these books, but I was lucky enough to land a Deal of the Day spot for Murder Between the Tides on Kobo for February 7 to 8, and this prompted me to reduce the book that comes before it, Valley of Lies.

Valley of Lies is 99p/99c or equivalent price around globe, and this sale is on all the main retailers.

I’m not sure how long I’ll keep the book at this low price, but this offer is unl...

Spring is in the air in Devon, but winter is still clinging on, and we’ve had some crisp and frosty mornings.

It’s very mild this year, and the birds are stirring in the hedgerows, but thhis time last year we had snow, so we’ll see what happens.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

In the next Devonshire Mystery, Dan and Spiller visit the quayside in Exeter.

I took a few photos to share with you, but it was a cold and damp wintry day, so I didn’t stand around taking pictures for long. I knew I had some photos from the summer, so I’ve added some of those.

I hope you enjoy them.

In the next Devonshire Mystery, Dan and Alan will meet someone in this unusual location.

In the centre of Exeter, these are the ruins of St Catherine’s Almshouses and Chapel.

Tucked away in the city centre, and perhaps a bit overshadowed by the glories of the nearby cathedral, it seemed like a great place for characters to meet.
