Hello Detectives, I’m back from holiday! I hope your Easters were just as lovely and chocolate-filled as mine. I’ve seen some of your delicious Cream Buns and Crime baking pictures, so I know that you’ve been using your time wisely!

Soon I’ll be sharing a video about the books I read while I was away, and some other exciting news, but today I’m sharing a blog I’ve written for the FCBG website about Mistletoe and Murder.

It’s shortlisted for their Children’s Book Awards in the Books for Older Readers Category, something that I am incredibly proud of. I am so honoured that the voters have chosen my book as part of a really strong shortlist – you can see my video about it here.

I hope you like my blog – and if you would like to vote for Mistletoe and Murder and you go to school in the UK, just go here before 12th May. Fingers crossed!
