Well, cozy mystery lovers, what a few months it has been! Fires and floods around the world, and love in the time of Covid.

But I still escape with a good cozy mystery, and today I'm especially happy because my favourite author has a new book out... Okay, actually it's me and I'm not allowed to call myself my favourite author because that's just silly when there are SO many amazing books out there calling to me. But still, I'm super excited that today is the day that Buried at the Bookshop goes live on Amazon and I hope you are a little tiny bit too!

It's free to read with Kindle Unlimited, or you can buy it. Click on the picture below to go to the Amazon page.

My goodness what a year it's been! Here in the UK we went into lockdown almost exactly one year ago, and now in March 2021 my children have finally returned to school and I can return to work (writing that is).

So, I have shooed them out the door, with packed lunches and school uniform on that is now a size too small, and got straight back to my desk. I'm starting straight away on book four in The Cornish Witch Mysteries, and once again Morgana will have a murder to solve. There's a haunted book shop, a new friend, and a return of old friends too.

It's a struggle to get going again, but I've been 'thinking' about the book the entire time I couldn't actually go and write it, so I hope that will pay off somehow! I'll let you know...

Hello lovely readers. It's been a few months...
I intended to write a blog post every month but, well, it's 2020! The year which kind of battered us all.
But despite the pandemic and the massive upheavals going on both globally and personally (if you want to know more you can always join my private reader group: click here) I have written a story in my Cornish Witch Series, which you can find in the absolutely brilliant anthology Hexes and Holly. It contains stories by some of the very best paranormal mystery writers and I'm thrilled to be included. They are, of course, all seasonal; Christmas rapidly approaches!
So, with very best holiday wishes to you, until next month, Stella

I was recently re-reading one of my all time favourite murder mysteries, And then there were none, by Agatha Christie, and was amazed to find it just as intriguing as the very first time. I just can't get over how brilliantly written it is. Right from the opening chapter she is obfuscating the murderer and misleading the reader, but if you go back to it once you reach the end, all you can do is be astounded that you missed the clue that was presented in her careful wording.

After finishing the book, I downloaded the television drama that was available on Amazon video in 3 parts. I have noticed in previous versions that they changed the ending, and while there were some changes made, this one didn't shy away from the final death.  I just wanted to take a moment, if you haven't read the book, to recommend it. It truly is murder mystery at it's best! 

 It's true, it's going... going...
Not quite gone yet.  I'm going to leave it up on Amazon until the end of January 2020. After that it will only be available to my Reader Group (which you can join HERE if you missed out - the reader group also has access to a hidden web page on this site!) And, eventually, the book will be in the box set, but if you want it then you'd better grab it now. Murder Most Pumpkin
