November Update for my Reader Group
Hi special members! So, what's really been happening in my life? Well, lockdown obviously. Here in England that meant having the kids at home from March until September. Then a brief respite where I thought I'd be able to resurrect my writing career (I'm rolling my eyes here, because it was such a vain hope). We moved house as soon as we had a moment to draw breath and it was an insane month of unpacking and decorating. Tnd then come November, back into lockdown. Things are different in England right now because the kids are allowed to continue going to school, but I have my husband at home and he's written a list of all the jobs we need to do around the new house and expects me to muck in with ticking them off. Today I've built a table, and we changed all the batteries in the smoke detectors, stuff like that. Thrilling, right? Not really what you follow me to hear about, lol.
It basically comes down to me having a terrible year for producing books. Don't get me wrong, it's been wonderful (not the virus bit obviously) spending more time with my family and moving into a larger house. But I am literally chomping at the bit to get back to my desk and start writing full time again.
However, during that time I did get an invitation to participate in a Christmas themed Cozy Mystery Anthology with lots of amazing authors, and I couldn't turn that down. So, I have managed to write and get published a shorter story, which you can find on my home page, it's called Hexes and Holly, and I've given Morgana a seasonal murder to solve. Do go and grab a copy!
I have to confess that I've also been spending way too much time on tiktok, as it is something you can do with just a few minutes of free time here and there. Go and follow me for writing tips and author fun @mysteryauthor. I may even post some of my videos here at some point.
The really good news though, is that despite the new lockdown we're currently in, the house jobs are getting done and I fully intend to have a book written by the end of the year. It's Nanowrimo during the month of November, which is really motivational (if you haven't heard of it, then do look it up, it's basically a challenge to write a book in a month www.nanowrimo.org).
I'll keep you updated with my boring life stuff and my writing stuff of course each month, but in the meantime, stay safe! Wear your mask! Big cozy hugs (from 2 feet away) Stella

Trying to decide what to write next...
I'm guessing that most of you would like to continue reading in Morgana's world and, don't worry, there will be more Cornish Witch Mysteries. Specifically, I'd like to release a Christmas one. But I'm also planning to have more than one series on the go, and so I was trying to decide which to go with next. Do you like historical cozies? Maybe Victorian London, or perhaps something 1920's? Or do you prefer modern day?
I know witches are always popular but what else do you enjoy? Ghosts? Psychics? Non-paranormal?
It would be fab to get some feedback, so feel free to email me direct from the contact page on the menu.

Murder at the Mansion Crossword and Solution
As Morgana loves crosswords, I have included one in the back of books 1 & 3. Reposted here, just in case, but this is also where the only place to find the solution too!

I don't know if you've seen my competition, but the winner gets a signed copy of every book in the Cornish Witch Series. A little task for the more artistic among you. All entries are posted on this page as I receive them.
