A dreamy forest escape in the Scottish Highlands 🌲💚
We stayed with Cove UK at Stratheck & Drimsynie.. riverside walks, crisp autumn air, and a hearty sausage stew cooked in the Ninja Crispi right in our pod! 🍲🏞️

Fun fact #3: in my previous career, I did some work in Cryptography (encrypting & decrypting written messages/cyphertext)

Since #cryptography is still a pretty big passion of mine, I've hidden lots of "secret messages" throughout all my books.

The LARGEST SECRET of all still remains undiscovered💙📚
