NEW REVIEW OF CAN'T LET GO

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:20:49 +0100

A nice new review from the February edition of Mystery Women:

"The story is a page turner and the writing so tight one really has to read it right through, with very little break. Highly recommended - and be prepared to catch up on sleep afterwards." - Linda Regan

WATCH ME FALL

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:10:50 +0100

A number of people have asked when my next book is coming out. Watch Me Fall has been available for pre-ordering on Amazon for some time, but you'll have to be patient. This book has taken me longer to write than anticipated. Plus I have just got a new editor so that has also complicated matters slightly. So the UK publication date could be still some time off - the current date on the Amazon page is April 2011

The book is currently being translated into German and when I know the publication date in Germany I will let you know.

MURDER AT THE EDINBURGH FRINGE

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 09:12:39 +0100

I'm preparing for my debut one-woman comedy show at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. Murder for Profit and Pleasure explores my double life as a comedian and crime writer, and ponders the fatal fascination of murder.

The show is at Jekyll & Hyde, Hanover Street in Edinburgh, as part of the Free Festival (no need to book tickets - just turn up). It runs from 6th - 30th August (not Tuesdays) and is a 40-minute show starting at 4.30pm.

Here's the poster:
