Cecilia Peartree – woman of mystery
setting the scene in Pitkirtly
Over the past couple of days I've unexpectedly completed and published 'Rights and Wrongs', the novel I had to abandon temporarily, almost finished, at the start of April. Also unexpectedly, it has made its way to Kobo and elsewhere very quickly so I am able to add a list of links to retailers at the …

Somehow or other I've reached milestones in two new novels at the same time. I can now divulge/confess that I've been working on a new Max Falconer book in the mornings and a new book in one of my Regency series in the afternoons. I'm still not 100% clear about which of the Regency series …
For various technical reasons, two of my recent publications have taken a while to reach non-Amazon ebook retailers, but I'm happy to say that both 'A Little Too Fond of Cake' and 'Pamela Prendergast and the Fatal Accident' have now found their way on to most of the other sites. So this post is simply …
Because I'm trying to do some editing at the moment, naturally I would prefer to be doing almost anything else. I found myself wielding a duster for the first time for months (maybe even years) earlier today, and I've just sent out a summary of actions from a meeting in record time, which will probably …
As some people reading will know already, I'm working on book 25 in my Pitkirtly Mysteries series. Although I'm generally happy with the Pitkirtlyworld I've created in my previous novels, I've been wondering for a while whether I should take the characters away on holiday for a change. Book 25 isn't actually much of a …
Because I can see the end in sight for Pitkirtly XXIV, I've decided to procrastinate a bit by writing this post. It's not so much that I don't want it to end as that now that I think I've worked out a solution, I no longer need to go through all the steps to get …
The River Ness in Inverness As mentioned in my New Year post, I've been focussing on the completion of my two unfinished novels, and I'm happy to say I've actually got to the end of both of them, more or less. Because 'The Elusive Widow' is longer and therefore will probably be harder to edit, …
This afternoon I published the latest of my Pitkirtly Mysteries to Amazon and Smashwords. As I write this, it should already be visible on the Smashwords site, which happens almost instantly, but the time it takes to appear on other sites always varies depending on the review process of the various online bookshops. It's entitled …
I've taken part in the November NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) every year since 2006. The first time I did it, I was on a mission to prove to myself that I could finish a novel in a month. It was a kind of signal that I would start to take my writing seriously at …
I am happy to report that I've just got past 20,000 words in Pitkirtly XXIII ('The Christmas Catastrophe') and the story is progressing more or less according to the very vague plan in my head. This is in spite of a recent blip when I realised I had written a pivotal chapter in a way …
