Appreciated Follower Award

-
I was about to start typing a new blog post this afternoon when I had a lovely surprise. I discovered that Laila Knight of the Untroubled Kingdom of Laila Knight blog had presented me with the Appreciated Follower Award. I've only recently been introduced to Laila's blog through her wonderful post Wonderland which I think a lot of writers (myself included) will relate to. Thank you, Laila - you've made my day.

The rules of the award are:
  • Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
  • Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
  • Copy and paste the award on your blog.
  • Have faith that your followers will spread the love to other bloggers.
  • And most of all - have bloggity-blog fun.

I'm incredibly lucky to have such wonderful individuals commenting on my blog but here are the five who drop in most often:
  1. Kelly Hashway of Kelly Hashway's Books
  2. Shelly of The Life of a Novice Writer
  3. Karen of Bibliophilic Blather
  4. Dawn of Dawn Brazil's Brilliant Babbles about Books
  5. Russo of Challenging the Gnome
Thank you to Kelly, Shelly, Karen, Dawn and Russo, but also to all of you who pop in to see me.

I always loved this building and now it has provided the inspiration for Darkacre School in my novel. Photograph taken by Dan Howard of 500px.com York Minster (from my home town) was the inspiration for the cathedral where Rex Haven's funeral takes place in my novel.

I've recently finished a new murder mystery play called Thoroughly Murdered Millie . Set in the 1920s, rich young widow Millie Harper-Smythe shocks her family (and the staff) with her plans for the future.
