Jolly Foul Play is well and truly out in the world! I’ve been getting so many pictures of the book, and all of you reading it – I’m adding them all to my Jolly Foul Play Pinterest board as they come in, and it’s looking wonderful!

As part of launching the book, I’ve been eating a lot of bunbreak, and also doing lots of interviews. If you’d like to read about how I write my mysteries – or you’re wondering how to go about writing your own – I’ve written a blog for the Waterstones website about how to construct the perfect crime. I was also interviewed by Bernie Keith on BBC Radio Northampton yesterday about murder, mysteries and Jolly Foul Play – you can listen again here for the next month.

If you’d like to come to one of my Jolly Foul Play tour events, you’ve got lots of opportunities. The full list is here – next up is my Birmingham Waterstones launch, tomorrow at 4pm. It’s free, and there will be bunbreak and activity packs. And, of course, I’ll be signing all of my books!

It’s been a great first week of Jolly Foul Play. Thank you so much for being part of it – I really do feel lucky to have such wonderful fans.
