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

Ne’er cast a clout till May is out

Some people understand this saying to mean don’t take off any coats or jackets until the month of May has finished, others think it is may blossom on hawthorn trees, may blossom by the way smells wonderful! I know we are only a few days into May but it’s not been a very warm start […]
