Hello and welcome!
Goodbye A Lens Unclouded, hello Arsenic & Cold Case!
For those of you who’ve been around for a while — my sincere thanks for your support! — or have recently read latest blog (Rebranding) you’ll know that I’ve been writing since January 2020 and blogging since August 2023. But over the last two years, I’ve realised that my blog lacked a little something… or several somethings… that would allow it to stand out among the crowd and really define what it is. So here goes!
Welcome to the first edition of Arsenic & Cold Case!
We have a new title, a lovely new banner and a bespoke logo to go with it.
We have a new byline — on writing, fiction and crime — since that’s largely what I write about. In future editions, you can expect to read about my writing journey (process and progress), get ‘behind the scenes’ glimpses into a writer’s life, and hear my unique insights into the publishing industry.
But it won’t stop there. I’ll also be offering book reviews, recommendations, short stories and poems, and — if my publisher allows — sneak peeks and exclusive bonus content for my upcoming books.
So come on in, take a seat and get comfy. It’s great to have you here!
