I don’t know about you but I’m a fan of unpredictability when it comes to my entertainment. A well-done plot twist in a book. A sudden realisation when watching something on television. Wonderful. While I don’t believe I’ve achieved the heights of unpredictability I’d like to have done with this series so far. I do […]
I invited Harry O’Connor onto the blog this week to find out more about a person very close to the centre of my upcoming book, Driven by Deceit. Welcome, Harry. Make yourself comfortable. Thank you, Georgia. It’s grand to be here. I thought you would invite Laura back as she’s the main character, so I’m honoured […]

“Art is never finished, only abandoned,” is a quote attributed to Leonardo DaVinci. It highlights the fact that perfection is unattainable and creative work is only completed when the artist chooses to stop and let it go. This is something I really struggle with when writing. When to let go. In my day job […]
Sometimes you’re not sure about whether to try a new to you author, both in terms of investment of time and money, or not, and I’m a firm believer in trying a taster first, where possible. This charming short story is just such an opportunity to see if you like the writer’s style before going […]

I chose to read Murder at the Summer Cheese Festival as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team. I received a copy from the author, but that doesn’t alter my review in any way. Murder at the Summer Cheese Festival is the first whodunnit in a new cosy mystery series set in a lovely […]
