Currently reading Agatha Christie’s Murder for Christmas, also called Hercule Poirot’s Christmas. Read this, or another Christmas mystery, each year in December.

A sinister twisting tale of cold-case crimes, family ties, secrets and stalkers. I loved hanging out with Jensen and Henrik in their home city of Copenhagen and while this is the fifth in a series, it definitely works if you haven’t read any of the others. Tense and intriguing.

Well, this is embarrassing…

Christmas might be delayed this year. Santa picked up Badlands yesterday & hasn’t been able to put it down yet.

Sorry everyone. Good job the elves are still at it.

(P.S. it’s only 99p on #kindle)

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

It's Saturday night so let's do a fun one!

With 5 emojis or less (each), how would you summarize your character?

Focus on their personality, their arc, or anything else that is core to them as a character!

Hey, wow, it's here!

Went into Leavenworth, WA after the wild storm last week. They are open for business and will be happy to see you, maybe even as happy as I was to see my book at A Book For All Seasons! :)

As lightning strikes the inn,
I open the guest room door
to the dead bodies.
Thunder claps its hands
at a job well done.

⚡📚 💙When Ian Fleming wrote 007, he created a blueprint for the modern thriller series.

I analysed 5 lessons #indieauthors can take from Bond:

A flash of lightning.
The house trembles.
Darkness swallows the room.
Sharp footsteps echo.
A figure emerges.
A knife gleams in his hand.
No. It can't be him.
