Mysteries, thrillers, crime novels, who-dun-its, cosy mysteries ... real mysteries, historical mysteries... it's all a mystery to me! |
As always, a huge thank you Helen for having me back on your wonderful Blog to talk about my latest publication, Serendipity. [My pleasure, Pauline]
Lockdown and restriction have been tough for everyone. Mentally, people are exhausted and for some, life will never be the same again. I would be lying if I said I don’t have dark days. I enjoy running, I love photography and writing has always been one of my escapisms. At the end of last year, with lockdown imminent again, I decided to write a novella that would have a feel good factor. With the two main characters already developing in my head, I decided to write a cosy mystery. For several months I escaped with these two wonderful characters, Craig Gardner, ex-police detective inspector and nineteen year old Roo Chattaway. The three of us went on a journey to find answers!
Whilst developing their characters it brought back memories of when my husband and I were members of an artistic roller-skating club. With these thoughts, I decided young Roo would be an artistic skater thereby adding a new dimension to her personality.
Serendipity is as much about the main characters as it is about them trying to find answers to questions. The little dog on the cover is not only the series logo, but he has a role in the story too. And of course, a cosy mystery wouldn’t be quite the same without a little romance.
Serendipity is a light read with a warm cosy feel that I hope will leave readers with a smile and, hopefully, wanting more.
