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

Family holiday, Sandsend, the last day… and it has to be fish and chips!

Fish and chips.. and mushy peas… this must be the most traditional of English dishes and when cooked properly with the freshest of fish, preferably eaten outside, it is the most delicious meal imaginable!
