Newsletter one hundred and twenty four

[charlie_cochrane]

Well, we’ve had summer already here in Hampshire (old, not New) – two days of temperatures in the twenties and now back to being chilly. Better get my snowboots out, just in case.

News

You probably know that Promises Made Under Fire is out in audio book (and very nicely read it is).

I’m delighted to say that Home Fires Burning is also out in audio and it’s equally well read. Us poor authors, we’re always scared that the wrong voice will ruin our stories, but I’m tickled pink at the quality.

If you fancy a light hearted, slightly daft little story, there’s one to read for free over at the UK Meet blog. It was written as a tag story, with four other authors, which was something I’d never tried before. I hope it’s as much fun to read as it was to write.
Inspiration

Not a picture of what inspires me but of me being inspired, this time. Was delighted to be appearing with the Deadly Dames (and a chevalier!) at the Bookcrossing conference last weekend. Our biggest audience – well over a hundred – and a delight to present to.

I just did an internet search for Deadly Dames to remind myself who all the authors were. I thought you'd be amused that the first item that came up was "Deadly Dames--Psychobilly Sex Kitten Clothing". And it's none too cheap, either, at least according to this man's eye viewpoint of what clothes should cost. (I had to look, don't you know.) By the way, I did also get a listing that told me who YOUR Deadly Dames are.

Cor blimey, guv'nor. Can you imagine us wearing that?

The other Dames were highly amused by your comment!

Great picture of you all!

It's not bad, is it? Somehow we never seem to manage to all smile at the same time.

Was it planned for you all to wear black and red, or it that just what mystery writers are wearing these days? ;-)

LOL It's our signature colours, dah-ling. We're trying to establish a brand. :)
