When the weather is chilly, the best place to be is under a blanket with a cup of tea, a sleepy cat and a book.
Writing news
There is a ‘20 Questions’ interview with me on the blog of author Sam Szanto. You can read it here. I hope you find it illuminating! Currently I’m working on two projects at once, fiction and non-fiction. They are a little different to my ‘thrillers with speculative twists’ We Watch You and They Lie Here, which is exciting as I enjoy variety in both my reading and writing.
Blog news
I have begun including links to both this newsletter and to The Indie Books & Authors Newsletter on each new blog post. This ensures that everyone who follows my blog via email has access to the newsletter links. As for those who visit the blog directly, the links are in different places to increase visibility.

With Bare Feet and Sandy Toes by Catherine Berry, an indie-published memoir of childhood in 1960s and 70s Australia. I’m really enjoying it!

The Party’s Over, the debut album from Talk Talk, one of my favourite 80s bands. I recently got my mitts on a 40th anniversary white vinyl edition.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading - see you next time!
