Hello again!

Oh dear - based on the distressed emails I've received, I think there has been some misunderstanding. Please rest assured - I'm not saying I want to move the Oxford Tearoom Mysteries away from the tearoom permanently and have Gemma & Co. travel all the time! Most future books will remain set in Oxford & the Cotswolds. 

But occasionally, I thought it might be nice to have them travel to another country so solve a mystery, just for a change, and I was interested in what sort of settings you'd like to read about.  

I hope that clears things up! 😊 Please do leave your choice in the survey (link in the original email below) rather than emailing to tell me, so that your opinion can be counted. 

Thank you!

Hello!

Today, the newsletter is all about you! 😊 I wanted to ask your thoughts & opinions, to help me do things that are more in line with your interests.

I've had so many lovely messages from fans saying how much they enjoyed the Scotland setting in the recent new Oxford Tearoom book ("A High Whisk Situation") that I began thinking it might be fun to have Gemma & Co. travel and solve mysteries in other interesting places. Would you like to see that? Or do you want them to only stay in Oxford & the Cotswolds?

Here's a quick poll with two questions only: where you would like future Oxford Tearoom Mysteries to be set and what you might like to read about on my blog. 

It takes less than 2 minutes to complete and you'll have the chance to enter your email to win a $25 Amazon gift voucher just by answering the two questions!

“I received the package of books I won via the giveaway, and it brought such a smile to my face!  I've included a picture of our cat Britt, who had to make sure there wasn't anything for her in the package! Even though she’s quite naughty at times, I can’t resist her little face. 

I also wanted to take a minute to say thank you for being an amazing writer. My mother and I used to share cosy mystery books between us, but after she passed I was in a bit of a slump. Although she never got to read your series, I know she would have absolutely loved them. There are many times during any particular book that I have to stop and smile, thinking that she would have definitely brought up something that Oren, Nibs, or Muesli have done, knowing that one of her cats had done something similar! Your books have helped to turn an unhappy situation into a happy one, so thank you.”

Aww – thank YOU, Lisa, for the moving message! I feel so touched and honoured ❤️
