Hello Again

Hello again from the Scottish Borders.

It is such a lovely day, I thought it was a good time to drop you a quick message. The only problem being, I don't have much news.

As usual, due to covid 19, my husband and I haven't been out much. However, we do hope to get away for a few days in May (fingers crossed) and then maybe take another break later in the year. Though we won't be travelling far, just getting away will be great. Therefore, I might have something more exciting to pass on in another blog.

At the moment, I am still trying to work on the fifth novel in the Agnes Lockwood Mysteries. While it started well, it now seems to have come to a full stop. My brain seems to have switched off, probably because of being indoors every day for almost two years. But I now realise that I need to get to grips and carry on, if only to stop Agnes Lockwood from getting annoyed and keep popping into my head. 😉

In the meantime, my publisher has informed me that most of my novels are now available from various online booksellers, Therefore, I have found a link for each of the Agnes Lockwood novels which will lead customers to various book stores, not just Amazon. So maybe that will keep her quiet for a little while. 😀

However, I also understand that most independent book shops can order books from Bookshop, while large bookstores can order any books from their own supplier. I will now need to start finding the all inclusive links for my other novels.

Later this evening, I will be watching Grantchester on TV. I have watched this series from the beginning and have always enjoyed it. However, things seem to have changed a great deal since the end of the last series and I'm not sure where this one is going... I guess it's wait and see time. Being a Geordie myself, I love to see Robson Green on screen as an actor, not so keen on the fishing programmes. Last night, I watched a repeat of Vera. A series with Brenda Blethyn playing the part of a DCI in the Newcastle and Northumberland Police. As for tomorrow... it's wait and see time.

I think that is all for the moment.

Take care all,

Cheers!

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!
