My article about ‘grace & favour’ at Hampton Court Palace for Historia (link below) ties in with my latest book: MURDER AT THE PALACE. I hope readers get a sense of time and place because it was great fun to write a proper cosy crime and I loved discovering more about the palace.

You don’t need to do a course to write a book but look at what can happen when you do. My three Kember & Hayes mysteries alongside those of my course colleagues. Siya Turabi, Elliot Sweeney, Rosanna Pike Pike and Bonnie Garmus.
