I was thrilled to be runner-up in the fiction category of the Isle of Wight Book Awards for my novel “Good Neighbours”. Here I am signing the book with the fiction lead judge Georgina Moore and in the foreground is the certificate. The awards were announced at a splendid lunch held at the Island Sailing Club presided over by Hunter Davies, who set up the awards.

In other news, my next novel, Death at St Jude’s is to be published in February. You can view the cover and pre-order at amazon.co.uk or amazon.com
