Have you noticed the detail on my cover for #aMirrorMurder, the first in my #JanChristopher #CosyMystery #series? Designer Cathy Helms and I took a while to get as near to the 1970s setting as possible - and include some hints for the story itself! getbook.at/MirrorMurder

#1066 why did Earl Harold go to Normandy? Forget the rubbish (totally inaccurate) #TVDrama #KingAndConqueror version of events - read my article instead!

so the facts of history are not important to the creators of #KingAndConqueror? Maybe they should have consulted 1066 TURNED UPSIDE DOWN ... Alternative (plausible) stories of #1066

:/ #KingAndConqueror #JamesNorton stated "I wasn't aware of the relationship Harold & William had before the battle [1066] that they were friends & allies for many years" that's because, MrNorton, they weren't! Try my novel it's more accurate! viewbook.at/HaroldTheKing

so there's a new #1066 series starting on UK TV ... from the trailers I don't think it's anywhere near as good as my book! (even from these trailers there are enormous inaccuracies!) Amazon Author Page: viewauthor.at/HelenHollick

#CosyMysteries on #BBCRadio News again today with @richardosman1.bsky.social Cosy being made into a film. Good for him I say BUT us indie writers can't get such a boost of promotion- yet ours are just as good! Why not try mine? (& cheaper than his on #AmazonKindle!) viewauthor.at/HelenHollick

If you know anything about the fiercely competitive nature of the fruit and veg show in an English village, you'll know passions run high. @helenhollick.bsky.social tells us about how murderous it can be in her latest #cozycrime novel alisonmortonauthor.com/2025/08/21/a...
