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

I somehow don’t imagine Edwardian young ladies dressing in boys’ costumes, […]

Makowiec – poppy seed and apple cake

We all loved the delicious poppy cake Barbara made for us at the English conversation class party; it was nutty and apple-y and mmmm, yummy! Barbara has sent me the recipe, I had to change a couple of words and I haven’t yet made the cake, but a friend gave me some apples, and I […]
