A perfect winter's day with brilliant sunshine made today's research trip to Whitelee Windfarm, just south of Glasgow, an absolute pleasure. (Yes, a wind farm will be featuring in the current gothic WIP!)

The first reader reviews for Winterbourne are starting to trickle in - a very nerve-racking time for an author! But so far, so good!

1. Books are easy to wrap. 2. Books don’t need batteries. 3. Books don’t hurt when you step on them in the middle of the night. 4. Books never come in the wrong color or size. 5. Books never need ironing. 6. Books don’t need to be assembled before being given.

Body Count comes out a week today - and I can thoroughly recommend it. In Saffy, @juliecohen.bsky.social has conjured up one of those fictional characters you wish you could spend an evening with down the pub. A killer creation!
