At all other times, I’ll be writing more books!

Glad to live in a village where I can buy beautiful cottage garden flowers from a neighbour's stall beside their garden gate for next to nothing. Here's a new mystery: The Mystery of the Disappearing Books! I'm currently in the process of unpublishing the old editions of all my books so the new ones can go up instead, via my publishers Boldwood Books (@bookandtonic), @sagaegmont & DP Verlag (@digitalpublishers). My publishing schedule over the next six months is so action-packed and complicated that I've just published a new blog post summarising what you can expect to by published when, whether you prefer ebooks, paperbacks or audiobooks. Read all about it on the blog, which is hosted on my website (link in bio, then at website click on "blog" tab in top menu). Always fun to find a book by one of my author friends in secondhand bookshops - see Rosalind Minett's slender and entertaining "Me-Time Tales" sandwiched in between chunkier volumes at Tyntesfield's excellent one last week! I came home with Josephine Hart's "Damage", Kate Mosse's "The Black Mountain" and "The Story of English", a huge hardback by Robert McCrum et al. Only £6 for the lot! An easy way to support the National Trust, which raised an astonishing £25k from secondhand book sales last year. A lovely afternoon tea outing to Tyntesfield today with my parents, sister and daughter. The pretend cow in the apple orchard fools us every time! It was an honour to ring our parish church bells three times since the death of the Queen - once, muffled, the day after she died as a symbol of mourning; then on the Saturday unmuffled to celebrate the Proclamation of the King; and yesterday immediately before the funeral. Very British, understated tribute to The Queen seen in a shop window in Sloane Street today: a window full of black handbags around a black and white photo. Happy publication day to me! After a weekend of village events to mark the death of our dear Queen and the Proclamation of the new King, it's time for a quiet little act of commemoration of my own. I bought this vintage handbag in a charity shop after enjoying the Queen's bit of fun with Paddington Bear, because it made me smile and was one of the Queen's unofficial trade marks. I'm very glad I did. I am keeping it on display with the flag until after her funeral. So glad to be able to show my respects for HM The Queen in our ancient parish church of St Mary, which has marked the coming and going of so many Kings and Queens for over a thousand years.
