Hey there! Counting down to my trip to the UK 🇬🇧. Lots of appointments, seeing friends before I leave, writing reminders for things that need to happen while I'm gone. I won't be back until Thanksgiving 🦃 in November and that feels like a long way away. A newsy...
Hey there, It was so great to hear from so many of you last week about my jumble sale dress. I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. It was fun to write. I live in earthquake country, just a few miles from a fault line. These past few weekends I have been updating our...

Good day gangsters! I often get asked where I get my ideas from. And I always answer, "real life." A couple of examples: I had to take Star to the vet on Saturday. Phew. It was a two-person military operation. We got her some medicine to put in her food and when we...

Hey there! Wow, here we are mid-October. Time is flying. I don't know about you but last year I got caught scrambling in December buying Christmas presents and food when so much had already sold out. So this year, I got myself sorted nice and early. When I had sent...
Hey there! Man, it seems like a while since I last landed in your inbox. Things have been cracking on a-pace. My nest has emptied and it feels more permanent this time, but I'm happy the boys and their friends are back living their lives as young people should. I...
Hey there! As you read this, I am attending Dickens Camp held virtually at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I've been wanting to attend for several years now and while not far from my home, attending the lectures and seminars while still being able to sleep...
Hey there! I had my first in-person social event in sixteen months last weekend. And it was like going on vacation. So lovely to see people again and hang out. There were even hugs. Remember those elbow rubs? I thought I'd let you know what else I've been doing. What...
Hey there, a few months ago, I asked my readers which book I should write after finishing Fireworks in France. The resounding feedback was that it should be an Inspector Graham. And so it was that on Monday, I got back in the saddle and kicked off the next story...

Hey there, something big happened this past week. No, not that thing. Another thing. I celebrated 24 years living in the US. I still remember the journey clearly - collapsing into seat 34C on the Virgin Atlantic flight on October 30, 1996, the grilling I got when I...
Greetings! I hope you are having a lovely week. The new Inspector Graham went off to my editor at the weekend, a day early! This step is always totally exciting. I thought I’d share a little about my new baby with you. The title… Choosing a title for a book can be a...
