A new mystery ...

 ... Meyrueis, book 7 is in development ...


... If you missed my April Author Challenge which centred on the work to get Meyrueis ready for submission, don't worry.  There's plenty of info around for you to catch up on.  Read on... 


The story opens in late summer and Lucien, Jacques Forêt's son, is in England staying with his grandmother and his uncles.  The timing then shifts to July and some new characters in a previously little referenced part of the Cévennes.


So, there's a new crime, a new location and plenty of new characters as well as an old one who is making a return to the page after far too long an absence.


Jacques, Didier and all of their old colleagues are in the story as well, as is a new addition to the Forêt family.

James et Moi


On my blog you'll find interviews with other authors, discussions about books, and life in other countries.
There are articles about my books, the settings and the places I use as backdrops for the action in my stories.
And, from time to time, you will be able to meet the fictional James and his sister and follow their trials and tribulations as they travel through France.
