A Flying Start In January
Happy New Year! This is a good time to look back over the past year. Here are a few of my book-related highlights:
• Wrote and published my latest Cara Cassidy mystery, Murder Against The Clock
• Read and reviewed 433 books
• Attended a literary salon at the Embassy of Luxembourg, Kensington
• Attended the Irish National SF Convention, Octocon
• Attended three book launches
• Met authors including Thomas Pakenham, Ruth Dugdall, Daniel Pembrey, Ellen Gunning, Diane Duane, Peter Morwood, Rhianna Pratchett, Oisin McGann, Rachael Kelly, Eileen Gormley, Caroline McCall, Michael Carroll, Peadar Ó Guilín, Maura McHugh, Wolfgang Steinicke.
• Started blogging on topics requested by readers: horse books; books on the environment; and accessible locations.

January shows that I am already off to a flying start in 2017. I am halfway through writing a non-fiction book and plotting an SF one. I've been to Somerset with my husband Allan and we met fantasy author Jan Hawke, author of
Milele Safari: An Eternal Journey for lunch.
While travelling we visited the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton. Stored in a hangar on a Royal Navy airfield are planes ranging from early 'stringbag' biplanes to the Concorde, with rescue helicopters and military planes carried by Navy vessels in between them. Paintings include the Ark Royal while a gallery displays the work of the WRNS who took on tasks from mechanic to codebreaking during wars. This is a fascinating venue, packed with history and personal memories, which has been adapted to be accessible to wheelchair users. A ramp between floors was installed, and opened by Douglas Bader.
If you know a particularly good accessible venue, please mention it in the comments.
To see more of my travels visit my website and look on the News and Events page. You can also sign up to my quarterly newsletter which will keep you informed of special offers and new releases. If you read one of my books, please consider leaving a review. Reviews help other readers as well as the author.
