Season’s Greetings from Newark on Trent!

What? Christmas is here already? It must be. Decorations are hanging, coloured lights are twinkling, and everywhere is looking festive! How did that happen? What on earth is going on with time? It seems to be traveling at a greater warp speed every year. Shocking.

But seriously, I wish you a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Wherever you are in the world, whether you hanker for a White Christmas, or you prefer spending the big day soaking up the sun on a sandy beach, I hope all your dreams come true. As for me, I don’t really mind either way. So long as I spend time with my family, all is cool.

Here’s a gratuitous photo to add some colour, sent in by a reader who just happened to find my book in their local bookstore … in Australia!

Tea and a good book. Could anything top that as a late night treat?

On to the news. I’ve just sent out a final newsletter for the year with some more exciting book news. Want to know what’s going on before anyone else? Come and join us.

For a little taster of my announcements, there will be MORE audio books coming in 2026 and my editor and I have finally finished a refresh and re-edit on all the Ryan Kaine and DCI Jones books, so that means a new book in one of my series will be coming next year. I also announced the winners of the latest contest for one of my new audio books.

And finally … here’s another photo to colour your day. One of some old fool relaxing in his favourite armchair.

That’s it for now. Stay safe, keep reading, and Merry Christmas to all.

Cheers,
Kerry
