A Calculated Murder is out in paperback today! Set at the Balham International Cat Show, anxious actuary Una must team up with a reluctant cat to find out who is behind the gruesome demise of the cat owners in contention for the trophy. 🏆 🐈🔍🧮
(No cats are harmed in this book, their owners maybe)

Today, I took part in the local authors fair, one of the events for the Chester Literature Festival, organised by @storyhouselive . It was great chatting to readers and writers. 📚 Time to relax now and watch Eurovision 🎵
Delighted to get a joke on Breaking the News this week. 😀
If you’ve not heard this programme before it’s a topical news quiz hosted by Des Clarke that’s warmly satirical.

Hello! Just wanted to tell you that I’ll be reading and chatting about the Una mysteries at the Books On The Walls bookshop in Chester this Saturday 21st from 2-2.30pm. It’s free to come along. 🧮🔍📚🐈
This lovely bookstore has just celebrated its first anniversary. It’s situated on the Roman walls in Chester at 2 City Walls. And while browsing through their books you can get a coffee and cake. 📚☕️🍰
Had a great weekend at the first Cheshire Crime Writers Festival organised by @thecuriouscatbookshop .

Today I visited a new Wirral book shop called Paper and Word @paperandword who focus on fantasy books. I don’t read much in this genre so good to try something new. May be of interest to you @beckyhunterbooks or @heathergharrisauthor . I also picked up a book jacket like a lovely book puffa jacket - I must admit when I was waiting on the train platform on the way back I wished they did a matching Jo-sized one! 🥶😂
