Today’s the day! The wait is over, and Jolly Foul Play is officially available in stores across the UK and Ireland. I went into four stores in London to see it this morning, and there it was – bright yellow and completely unmissable.

I can’t believe that I’m watching my fourth book publish today, and that I’m doing it as a full-time writer. The world has changed since Murder Most Unladylike published in June 2014. But all the same, the fear and excitement never goes away. I feel just as giddy and disbelieving as I did when I was a debut.

Jolly Foul Play‘s London launch is on Saturday at Waterstones Trafalgar Square (I have big plans for tomorrow that involve a lot of sugar, flour and lemons), but today I’m just enjoying the fact that my newest book is out in the world, and available to buy. Below are pictures from my mini-tour today – signed copies are in all of these shops now.

Happy hunting, Murder Most Unladylike fans!
