Lois

I am a writer living in the west of England; I have written fourrteen novels, my latest being 'Winterdyke' This is the latest of the seven Radwinter genealogical mysteries series, all available on Amazon - the eighth in the series due to appear in early summer. I have written seven other novels, a guide to writing, three stories for reluctant readers and two anthologies with other writers. All are available as eBooks and paperbacks. I hope my blog will engage you with my other interests, music, family history travel, and food... Most of all I hope you engage with my writing and my thoughts on the process... at least, on my process!! You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

Writing a novel in a month… dare I?

Thanks to a WordPress blog, National Novel writing month has been drawn to my attention… http://4amwriter.com/2012/10/22/writers-start-your-engines/ I’ve read about it before but never more than vaguely contemplated doing it. However, having decided that ‘Loving Judah’ will be published on October 31st, maybe I should set myself a new challenge for November. I have decided my next published book will be ‘Night Vision’… but that comes from […]

Reigate

These charming nineteenth or early twentieth century photographs were taken by the famous Francis Frith of Reigate for the brewers, White, Tomkins and Courage, and I would guess they were on a calendar. Reigate was the nearest large town to Bletchingley where the Colgates had lived since the middle of the nineteenth century; these places would have been very familiar to them!

Re-covered

Here’s another idea for the cover of ‘Loving Judah’ – any thoughts, comments, criticisms? The scan is a little disappointing – but what about the image of the statue, is that better than the previous dappled and fuzzy ones?

Cover… story

I’m a little further on with deciding on a cover for ‘Judah’… can I have your honest opinions please? Don’t worry, I won’t be upset if you say they’re rubbish and you hate them and it would put you off buying my book… but it would be helpful if you’d say why you think so!
