BOOK LAUNCHES LAST THURSDAY
I organised a couple of book launches for two lovely Folkestone authors last Thursday.

So, having turned to a life of crime (fiction) in 2021, why am I still writing women’s fiction? That’s a good question! Crime and detective fiction are undoubtedly my first loves. From the moment I opened Richard Scarry’s The Great Pie Robbery at a very young age, I was hooked, and my reading taste has never really changed.
