Life's Hard - Wine Helps!: What is Going on in Your World?

What is Going on in Your World?

Anything going on where you are? I have to say all is very quiet in my neck of the woods at the moment.

However, having said that, there was cause for a little excitement earlier in the week when I received a certificate for Death on Tyneside. The novel was among the Top Ten Finalists in the Author Academy Awards Competition which was held in the USA.

I really never thought I would get that far, so you can imagine how delighted I was when I received it.

Actually it has worked out rather well, as Death on Tyneside is only 99c/99p to download for the next few days. Therefore, if you are planning to read it at some point, then now would be a good time to download a copy.

Now I suppose we will all be preparing for Christmas? Or perhaps it is still a little too early? However, it appears that the shops are telling us that we should be Christmas shopping right now. Everywhere you look, there are Christmas cards and decorations for sale, not to mention the ideas for gifts, which are displayed in shop windows. But maybe we should start looking now as it is amazing how quickly the weeks pass by. As far as I am concerned, this whole year has flown by.

Well I think that is all for the moment, but I hope to be back very soon.

Take care and enjoy what is left of the weekend.

Cheers!

Chink! Chink!

Congratulations! I'm not surprised at the award; your Tyneside series is wonderful. I'm hoping to see the next one in the series soon. Thanks for creating characters that are interesting and believable.

I am so sorry that I haven't picked up your message before now. I am so delighted that you have enjoyed my novels. Do you live on Tyneside? I was born in Gateshead, Low fell to be exact, and then moved to Whitley Bay. Though I now live in the Scottish Borders, I still love Tyneside.

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!
