November offered me the opportunity to be interviewed by the lovely Rebecca and Adrian at Hobeck Books. Their podcast, a first for me, was enjoyable and conversation flowed - I think we could have chatted all day! Thank you for your kind words. The podcast can be heard here,

The start of a new year is always a good time to look back on the past and think about the future. Taking a moment to reflect can make us happy about all the good things in our lives, but it might also bring some sadness, especially for loved ones who aren't with us anymore. Regrets might sneak in, too. But as we move forward, we can learn from our mistakes and regrets. Maybe you need to spend more time with family and friends, who are the best gifts we have. Or maybe we should take better care of ourselves beyond just the usual promises to eat healthier or exercise more! I'm not really into making New Year's resolutions, but I do try to look back and learn from the past year.
Whatever awaits you, I wish you every blessing in the year ahead. For me, I shall continue to be grateful for my loved ones and cherish them even more. And of course, there will be books!
2025 will see the publication of two new books. The first, in May, is a sequel to The Dead Husband, so if you want to learn what happens to DI Samantha Freeman after the devastating end of The Dead Husband, you'll be able to find out in Little Black Lies!
A new stand-alone novel, The Winners, will be published in August. The clue is in the title - big winners or big losers? I can say no more!
So, thank you to those of you who read my blog and encouraged me in my writing over the past year, your comments and reviews make it all worthwhile.
