Release Day for AGONY IN AMETHYST

Crack open the champagne... the latest Harriet Gordon Mystery is now out in the world!

Release Days are both exciting and terrifying at the same time. After so much time with your head in a book, it is daunting letting it go out ‘into the wild’ and I can tell you this NEVER gets any easier.

HOWEVER… TO CELEBRATE RELEASE DAY YOU ARE VERY WELCOME TO VIEW MY RELEASE DAY VIDEO - I will be answering your questions and doing a short reading from AGONY IN AMETHYST. You can watch it here…

I can say with my hand on my heart that it takes me exactly a year to write a book!

This time last year I was on a writer’s retreat in Tasmania and I first put fingers to keyboard to start writing Book 5 in the Harriet Gordon Mysteries. With the best will in the world I am and always will be, an organic writer… meaning I struggle with plotting my books which is probably why they take so long to write. Anyway I hope the wait has been worth it.

What have our favourite characters been up to since the end of TERROR IN TOPAZ? Well - Curran got sent to London to mop up the mess we left in Kuala Lumpur in the last book so Harriet has been on her own, but I am pleased to say she has finally found steady employment. Esme Prynne, who we met in TERROR IN TOPAZ, has taken on the role of the headmistress of the Singapore Ladies Academy and is employing Harriet as her administrative assistant and part time teacher. Needless to say this is an arrangement that suits Julian but will he have the courage to ask the question? The Empire has been enjoying the spectacle of the coronation of King George V and an important visiting dignitary is about to arrive in Singapore…

So, we are back in Singapore for this book… anything more than that I’m not going to disclose - you will need to read the book!

It is available in print and ebook world wide. Audio is coming (hopefully before Christmas). Early reviews are already up on Goodreads… with thanks to my ARC team.

All the current buy links are on the button below, with the exception of my own store from which you can purchase print books with a personalised dedication… Click HERE

One final thing… if you find yourself in need of a character list for any of the Harriet books, you will find them (along with a glossary) on my website. Click HERE. It’s one of those things… you get some readers who love them and others who hate them so the website is my compromise!

All the best from a very excited…
