Family life sucks - my very ill father-in-law is now in hospital. I’m struggling to find time for my WIP, with hospital visits, mother-in-law, work and ‘everything else’. But I’m now itching to finish off writing my next book - currently at around 64K words.

It features a missing woman, a Jewish-Muslim interfaith charity project, sinister goings-on & possible murder(s). All set in and around London, England.

Well, The Redeemer is six months old today … and what a six months it’s been.

If my book was an actual baby, I’d be taking photos & celebrating this milestone!

Considering The Redeemer took me 2.5 years to write & another 3 years (of agent & publisher rejections) to do anything with it, I probably should be!

I’m proud of all of The Redeemer’s achievements so far (and of my 2 human babies too). Now I just need to finish writing Book 2.

Flee market find: ‘In Pursuit of Spenser’, a Festschrift about noire writer Robert B. Parker - who sadly died in 2010.

To me he is the Master of the Witty Dialogue.

In it, an essay by Parker himself, analysing Spenser. In a fictitious interview by Amy.

‘Okay,’ Amy said, ‘just to warm up a little. Why are you such a wise guy?’
‘It’s a gift,’ I said.
