With a new novel to write by the end of March (the third in my Cotswold Curiosity Shop cosy mystery series), why have I found myself promising my local village drama group a brand new play by the beginning of March? I may be good at multitasking, but this is quite a commitment, even for me…
Firstly, flattery gets you everywhere. When the Hawkesbury Drama Group asked me to write them a murder mystery event, I felt honoured – especially when they told me that it shouldn’t be based on one of my mystery novels, as lots of their target audience will already have read them. Their further request to write two different endings, so that they could run the show on consecutive nights, proved an irresistible challenge.
