Thrilled to be longlisted for a CWA Dagger—it's a real pinch-me-dream-come-true moment. As much as anything, it's a fab list of fellow authors to be amongst, even if, as my photo suggests, I look like a vet who's about to give you bad news about the family Labrador... thecwa.co.uk/awards-and-c...

It's always exciting to receive uncorrected proofs in the post, and I can't wait to dive into these two books that arrived within 24 hours of each other (what are the chances!), but... um... it also feels a bit like pigeons coming home to roost.

Since when did Microsoft Word become a distributed array / hive mind / swarm? Is this new or have I just never noticed before that it now thinks it's more than one entity?

The Microsoft Word screen that shows that it's done a find and replace but it says 'We Made 12 replacements' as though it has multiple identities.

Chuffed to bits to see that Murder on the Marlow Belle was won an audiobook award in the USA. Nicolette McKenzie is brilliant as the narrator of the series, and I am never surprised that the books win more awards for how they sound than for how they read. www.audiofilemagazine.com/reviews/read...

Another week on the USA Today Bestseller list! It's so very, very thrilling to know that so many Americans want to spend time with Judith (and therefore, by proxy, my Grandma Betty, Great Aunt Jess, and all of my other dotty female relatives who are in Judith's DNA). Go Team Marlow!
