An amazing reading month. I can't recommend these highly enough. Three of them made me cry (see if you can guess which ones), and I don't cry easily. Thank you #AlanHollinghurst @marnieriches.bsky.social #elizabethstrout #colmtoibin #robertseethaler #jessicaanyablau #booksworthreading #bookstagram

Ian went into our local Waterstones and found an author signing her Bromley-based, gardening-themed cosy crime novel, so he got me one. It even came with a free gift 😁

Picture of my hand holding a paperback book entitled The Gardeners' Club by Marnie Riches. The cover shows a watering can tipped slightly forward with blood spilling from its rose.

My hand holding a book showing the blurb on the reverse. It reads: Gardening is dirty work - but should it be deadly? When Gill Swanley seizes the secateurs and joins the Bromley Botanists, she finds herself part of a seven-strong group determined to win the coveted Golden Trowel award. But when a dead body turns up in a garden shed, they suddenly have more important matters to consider than victory. They must uncover whether their arch-rivals, Croydon, are taking things to another level, or whether someone far more dangerous is targeting their motley crew. Only one can win the Golden Trowel, but the competition is lethal.

The inside title page of The Gardeners' Club by Marnie Riches, signed by the author and dedicated, "To Geraldine, happy reading!"

My hand holding a small biodegradable fibre plant pot with a sweet William cutting in it. In the background my cat, Lucia, is standing on the back of the sofa looking out of the window between two deep pink dwarf orchids.

Don't sit back and hope others will defend your rights. Participate in as many consultations and focus groups as you can re. AI to make sure the government gets the message that artists' creative creations must not be stolen in this new tech goldrush.

Did you know I pen #historical fiction as Maggie Campbell? My brand new #TheHousekeeperofHolcombeHall depicts the rise of fascism in Europe at the time of the Great Depression. Topical? I'll say! It's also a cracking love story. All that for 99p on Kindle in Feb! www.amazon.co.uk/Housekeeper-...

This looks good for aspiring TV writers. I never quite managed to get my foot firmly in the scriptwriting door, but even trying is great for novelists wanting to master dialogue. Plus, it's essential to get voices from north of the Watford Gap!
