News: Success of 'Irish Nell' & 'The Willow Marsh Murder'

9/1/2020

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2020 has already begun with a BANG! for myself and Detective Stephen Lavender.
My short story, The Death of Irish Nell has had a flurry of sales over the last few month, especially in the UK, and is doing very well in the Amazon rankings. It was lovely to see her awarded an Amazon 'Best Seller' badge.

In addition to this, both Irish Nell and my forthcoming new novel, The Willow Marsh Murder, have been promoted on Amazon as HOT NEW RELEASES in Historical Mysteries.
Apart from doing my famous 'Happy Author Dance' around the kitchen, I added a sexy little wiggle at the end of my usual routine to celebrate my hotness. Although, when several FB readers on my Author Page asked if they could buy tickets or get video evidence, I stopped that nonsense straight away. (Winky Face)

'THE SCULTHORPE MURDER' REACHES 50,000 SALES

I am absolutely delighted. My publishers have just informed me that 'The Sculthorpe Murder' has already made 50,000 sales worldwide in the 9 months since its publication. It seems unbelievable that this many readers have followed Detective Lavender and Constable Woods to the third book in the series. In addition to this, the reviews on both sides of the Atlantic have been fantastic! It has an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars in the UK.
My happy but crazy imagination is now trying to work out what 50,000 readers look like...it's a football stadium full, isn't it?
Cue happy author dance around the kitchen....

50,000 SALES OF
'THE HEIRESS OF LINN HAGH'

I have just received a congratulatory email from my publishers, Thomas & Mercer. They tell me that since last June I have sold 50,000 copies of the first novel in The Detective Lavender Mysteries: 'The Heiress of Linn Hagh.'
This is on top of the 20,000 copies I sold before that when the novel was self-published.
I am completely over the moon about this but am having trouble visualising such incredible sales! Happy author here.
You may also be interested to know that when the book was first published by Knox Robinson Publishing back in 2012... it only sold a miserable 35 copies in twelve months.
Ah, the difference a decent publisher can make... ;)
