A quick update - and something new on the horizon

Hi all - I am deep into the final edits and rewrites on 'Til It Bleeds so this won't be too long a post. I expect to have it completed by the end of April and then it goe
s off to ARC readers and a couple of people who may provide a back cover quote.

If you'd like to read an early copy of the book and provide a review please go the contact page and get in touch. I have 50 slots available so please be quick, but only get in touch if you can guarantee that you'll leave an honest review.

ALL BOOKS NOW IN EBOOK | PAPERBACK | HARDBACK

With the publication now of CUT AND SHUT in paperback and hardback, that means all three of the Louise Miller books are now out there in all formats- well ahead of the May 29th schedule.

Dirty Little Secret is now only £1.99 in ebook, so if you haven't read the first in series, now is a good time to grab a copy.

GOING GREEN LEADS TO NEW SERIES

In other news, Lucy and I decided to get an allotment. Well, Lucy decided about two years ago and we've been sat on a waiting list ever since, but earlier this week, the council got in touch as they had a plot available. In fact the plot had been available for some time, but the guy who had been in charge previously didn't do anything about getting vacant plots filled. Luckily there's someone new in charge, a wonderful lady called Ella, and she met us at the plot and answered our questions and, well, basically we snapped it up.


There's a shed, a greenhouse, a pond and several raised beds already in place. But we have plans - well, Lucy has plans (a lot of them) and I've tossed in a few ideas and we can't wait to get started.

All this mucking around in the muck has also fired the creative neurons and I've got the idea for a new book, (a new series, actually) one which is drastically different from the dark and gritty Louise Miller series. I've even got a title for this cozy allotment mystery as well as a rough outline and, well, I'm itching to start writing it.

And this will be the next book I work on once everything is done for 'Til It Bleeds. More on that around June time.

Let me know if you're a fan of cozy crime books.

In the meantime, we're waiting on the paperwork and keys, and watching a lot of YouTube videos about allotmenting. We've also decided to launch our own channel dedicated to starting a new allotment from scratch called Married To The Plot (as we're both writers).


You can find us on YouTube by clicking the link or searching for @CoupleOfPlotters. No videos yet, and they'll be raw and real when we do start uploading them so be warned.

But that's about it for now. Back to the edits.
