From the Author:

First, I’d like to thank all my readers for their kind words, loyalty, and patience. Especially their patience!

The two questions new readers always ask are, “Will there be more Hetheridge–‘Blue’–books?” and “What else have you written?”

Regarding question one, will there be more Lord & Lady Hetheridge books? The answer is a resounding yes. I have no plans to end the series. As long as I can write, I’ll be writing about Tony & Kate and their friends. It’s just that simple. At the moment, I’m planning book #9, which will be called BOLT FROM THE BLUE.

Regarding question two, I’m thrilled to tell you that I write other series! The first is the Dr. Benjamin Bones Mysteries. Set during the Second World War in my imaginary Cornish village, Birdswing, it’s a fun, nostalgic, romantic cozy mystery series. When Dr. Bones is selected to serve his country at home during the war, he is adopted by a rural community very different from London. Packed with great characters, entertaining storylines, and complex mysteries, it’s a perfect choice for anyone who is waiting (patiently, or impatiently) for another Hetheridge book.

I also write the Jem Jago Mysteries, published by Bookouture. Set in the Isles of Scilly, an English archipelago off the coast of Cornwall, it concerns Jemima Jago—librarian, thirty-something singleton, and intrepid amateur sleuth. There are five books in all, and they contain some of my funniest scenes.

Last but certainly not least, I am launching a new series, Skullduggery. Book #1 is HUNTING THE BEAST.
