It was such an honour to be asked to contribute to this new anthology. Grab a pre-order bargain while you can. #Wodehouse

Massively missed being at #theakstonscrime this year.
So here's a needy post to remind myself I exist!

It's a Mortimer and Whitehouse kind of morning. Only I've got no Whitehouse. Or Mortimer. Or fishing tackle. Anyway, I'm by a river.

It's not been out a month yet and already Death and Boules has 400 reviews and enjoying a pincer movement on the UK cosy charts.

Thanks to everyone who has bought it so far, and to the reviewers.

The perfect end to the #booktour, thanks to @itsthebookparty for organising a great night. Saw friends old and new.
Now packing my bags, ferry to France tomorrow evening.

#Booktour Sunday.
A picnic, book signing and a game of boules in Ilkley. A near six hour drive and a much-needed pint on the beach at Brighton.

A lovely review of Death & Croissants in @newyorkermag - especially the audiobooks.

@ianmooreauthor.bsky.social - Death and Boules. Richard and Valerie are one of my favourite crime solving duos, and this series just gets better with every instalment. Lots of mystery, intrigue and sharp humour that made me laugh and scare the cat. #BookSky πŸ“šπŸ’™βš‘οΈ

Day 2: Up and out at 5am, 20kms walked, David Niven found through Casablanca's doors, via the Chateau Marmont.

Quite a few have, for music as well. I didn't know that either.

This trip for ThΓ©rence and me is something of a pilgrimage, so forgive the self-indulgence.

The hotel I'm standing in is The Roosevelt, home to the first Academy Awards in 1929.
I got 'feels'.

There was a time, not that long ago, when travel for me was everyday. A punishing schedule, but I handled with, ahem, good humour.

Not anymore. Sunday Tours to Paris, Monday Paris to London to Manchester to London, Tuesday London to Paris and at some point home.

I'm very tired.
