If you’re in striking distance of Somerset then come to Wedmore Festival! 📣 I’m excited to be doing an event on Tuesday 14th May at 12noon, talking all things Shell House Detectives, cosy crime, and the joy of writing ✨✍️🐚 Link in my bio for tickets – and if you feel like continuing the conversation afterwards then there’s even a booking option that includes lunch in ‘a charming village home’ which sounds like it’s straight out of cosy crime … can’t wait! ✨
