Each year, Public Lending Rights pays authors a small amount based on library loans of their books. Iโ€™m delighted there were nearly 5000 loans of my books (ebooks, audios, hard + paperbacks, large print editions) from July 2023 to June 2024. Support your local library! @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social

British novelists criticise government over AI โ€˜theftโ€™ Richard Osman and Kate Mosse say plan to mine artistic works for data would destroy creative fields

Where is Christmas Close? Events in A Corpse in Christmas Close take place in the historic city of Winchester.ย Although Christmas Close is fictitious, itโ€™s portrayed as nestled close to Winchester's famous medieval cathedral. ...

Take care if you're planning to visit Winchester's popular Christmas market. Something sinister could be lurking in the shadows of the city's famous medieval cathedral...โ›„๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ”

Thanks to the Dogmersfield, Winchfield and Crookham Village Horticultural Society for inviting me to talk to their members (about books, not horticulture!). A lovely evening spent discussing the history & Hampshire locations that have inspired my books. The Society's first event was held in 1952 ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฅฆ๐Ÿฅ•
