Hello Again!!

Hello again!

It has been so long since I last posted a blog, I bet you were beginning to wonder what had happened.
Well the simple answer to that is - nothing has happened. Nothing has been going on in my rather quiet world. We have had a couple of storms, where we all had to batten down the hatches and hope we weren't blown away. Thankfully nothing drastic happened in the village where I live. However, I gather that people living in some other areas in Scotland, weren't so lucky. At the moment the sun is shining and it is a little windy, but nothing drastic.

This morning, the men appeared to resurface the road outside our house. We had been warned about it, so we all knew exactly what was going to happen and when it would be happening. Everything went according to plan. Three enormous vehicles plus a roller turned up, together with about eight men and the job was done in no to time at all. However, now they have gone and the excitement is over, the street has reverted back into its usual very quiet mode.

Murder on Tyneside

This morning, I had rather a nice surprise when I checked the ratings for Murder on Tyneside on Amazon US. I found not one, not two, but three new 5 star reviews. You have no idea how delighted I was when I saw them. It is so very difficult getting reviews of any kind, but three 5 star reviews over three days is wonderful.

If anyone reading this has read and enjoyed Murder on Tyneside or Death on Tyneside, the second book in the Agnes Lockwood Series, I would much appreciate a review.

Our nephew started primary school at the beginning of September and I understand he is enjoying it. I can't believe he is five already. The years are passing so quickly - too quickly for me!

Well I think that is all for the moment. Like I said, I don't have any news, but I thought I had better write something otherwise you would think I had dropped off the map.

However, before I leave, I would like to mention a book I have just finished reading -
Father Figure by James J Cudney. I really enjoyed the read and recommend you take a look.

Take care all and enjoy your day.

Cheers!!

Does anyone recognize this wonderful restaurant/cafe?

Death on Tyneside

Agnes Lockwood returns to Tyneside after spending a few months abroad. On her first visit, she gained quite the reputation as an amateur sleuth, as she helped the police solve a murder.

Now, she is simply looking forward to meeting again with Alan Johnson, a DCI with the Newcastle police force. Having missed him while she was away, she is hoping their relationship will continue to blossom.

But on her first day back in the city, she gets caught up in another murder. This time, her intrusion into the police investigation pushes Alan Johnson’s patience to the very limit.

Murder on Tyneside

Recently widowed Agnes Lockwood is spending a few days on Tyneside in Northeast England, keen on catching up with her past. But after only a few days at the hotel, an expensive item of jewelry is stolen.

After more jewelry goes missing, Chief Inspector Alan Johnson is assigned to the case. During the investigation, Alan recognizes Agnes as a friend from schooldays and they rekindle their friendship – with Agnes bombarding him with questions about the case.

After having dinner together one evening, they find a body lying on the roadside. Fearing for her safety, Alan warns Agnes to stay away from the case: theft is one thing, but murder is something else.

But being an inquisitive woman, Agnes can’t resist getting involved... too involved.

Only Twelve Days

This heartwarming story is set in a time when computers and mobile phones were still in their infancy.

It's almost Christmas, one of the most wonderful times of the year. Nearly everyone is eagerly looking forward to spending the festive season with their loved ones. But what about those who are facing Christmas alone?

Bill and Sally are two such people. Both are shy and lonely; left behind when the rest of the country was caught up in the changes of the swinging sixties. Will they avoid the holiday season as they usually do, and spend it alone? Or this year, just for a change, will Christmas catch up with them?

Though this story is set during the run up to Christmas, it is a tender love story to be enjoyed at any time of the year.

The Trojan Project

Sarah and her family's peaceful night is disturbed when a strange light rises from behind the Cheviot Hills, and a green mist descends across the valley. Its swirling tendrils, seeming to bear a life of their own as they snake across the land, can only be an omen of something sinister and evil.

Her fears seem confirmed when her husband fails to return home from working on the land, and when he is still missing the following morning, she and her children set out to search for him. A terrifying discovery awaits her in the valley below her home and before long, Sarah and her children find themselves caught up in a desperate search, not only for her husband Pete, but also for the meaning of the green light. Finding herself pursued by the military, she slowly begins to realize her life, and the lives of those she loves, are in mortal danger.

The Trojan Project takes us into a nightmare world where no one is quite what they seem, and trust becomes a word with little meaning. Beware the green light in the sky; you never know what it hides!
