Selfies with the birthday girl 🥳 The family celebrated Gran's 80th with a weekend in Taupō 🥂
Absolutely! I'm so pleased so many readers are enjoying it 😊
Fright on Stage Right is coming to ears near you very soon!

I'm delighted that @tantoraudio.bsky.social are keen to continue adapting the Milverton Mysteries for audio! We don't have any further details yet on the expected release date or anything like that, but we do know it's happening.

I'll be running the show for two hours in just three days! Come along and see what mischief we can get up to 🎃🎭

If you're keen to participate, you can join the Cozy Mystery Lovers / Meg's Cozy Corner Facebook Group now so you're ready to go when… [1/2]
We had such a fun time on the panel and hope the audience enjoyed themselves too. I am so grateful to have been invited to be a part of the festival and glad I caught almost all of the sessions over the weekend – so many clever, talented, inspiring people all in one place! [5/5]
audiobooks and translations and adaptations; the things we wished we'd known before we started; and so much more that I can't remember right this second! [4/5]
We discussed some of the opportunities and limitations of both independent and traditional publishing; finding common ground between writing what we love to write and publishing what readers love to read; how we spend our days; [3/5]
Chaired by the wonderful Catherine Robertson, our panel featured USA Today bestselling romcom author Kate O'Keeffe, acclaimed children's book author James Russell, and little ol' me talking all things writing and publishing. [2/5]
'A thorn between two roses' is how Kate described us here – her words, not ours! – which I think captures the support, generosity, hilarity, and light-hearted ribbing of our indie publishing panel at the Hawke's Bay Readers and Writers Festival. [1/5]

So good to see you, thank you for coming up! Yes haha between being a relatively late addition to the festival programme and launching my latest book the past couple of weeks, I haven't totally been on top of getting the word out 😅
And it's a surprisingly big island😅
…diving into our wine to remember to grab a photo!

Be sure to check out the #HBRW programme and catch a session today and/or tomorrow if you can x
Then I went out for dinner with the wonderful Jax Calder where we caught up on all things indie publishing, cosy mysteries, MM romance novellas, and all the rest. It was so nice and warm in Hastings that we ate outside, though we were too busy chatting and fending off the occasional bug…
Last night TV personality Alison Mau shared the couch with TV critic Diana Wichtel for the Media Memoirs session – a brilliant chat where they discussed life in the public eye, the ick of writing about yourself, resilience, family, dealing with criticism, and so much more.
Caffeinating ready for a full day of sessions at the Hawke's Bay Readers & Writers Festival!

Strong enough to bring back the 💀 apparently. I wonder if it'll work on the unfortunate soul(s) in Fright on Stage Right? 🎃🎭 #Mystery #Halloween #Cocktail
Heading over the hill today to catch a bunch of earlier sessions before mine on Sunday
This weekend! I'm joining an indie author panel at the Hawke's Bay Readers & Writers Festival where Catherine Robertson will be asking Kate O'Keeffe, James Russell, and G. B. Ralph (me!) what it takes to be a successful indie author. I'd love to see you there!
