My romance novel, A Year And A Day is currently free to download.
Here are some of the 5 star reviews –
A year and a day skipped along rapidly in this tale of destiny littered with promises and secrets. Patsy’s books are easy to read because she writes about real people.
A great read, full of emotion.
What a wonderful read this book was. I thoroughly enjoyed the ups and downs of two friends flirtations with life changes and was taken in by the twist at the end.
The novel is fun and entertaining, and it keeps the reader’s attention throughout. I especially enjoyed the various elements of the plot, which go beyond those of a simple romance story.
Dissentient can mean a person who dissents (or a dissenter) or can be used as an adjective for disagreeing with an official or majority view.
The book buying public don’t seem interested in my novel Firestarter, but a few dissentient voices have given it good reviews.
Sorry to do your noodle in, but I like a good pun. And by good of course I mean terrible! You might think they’re pasta their sell by date, and even I cannoli take so many… Anyway, it seems the judges of Best magazine’s love story competition quite like them, as my high carb effort is the runner up. (I won more than a penne!)

Substantial means, of considerable importance, size or value. It also describes something strongly built or made (in the case of my cakes sometimes both meanings apply!) Another meaning is concerning the substantial points of something.
Substantially either means to a great extent, or for the most part.
To say that the substance of my substantial (100,000 words!) novel, Paint Me a Picture, concerns Mavis’s relationships with her family and colleagues is substantially correct.
Deadly Words and Innocent Gossip in Little Mallow, the third book in my cosy mystery series is out today!
Here’s the blurb –
Muriel Grahame has kept a secret for seven decades. It’s protected her and loved ones, given them freedom and opportunities. She’s grateful for the chances, the happiness, she’s had. Her wish is to give those gifts to others.
Crystal Clere has mysteries to solve. Some are fun, like the test her police colleagues set to celebrate her move to CID. Others, like Adam’s belief he’s discovered vital information, and friend Ellie’s non existent love life, are just puzzling. Murder, and further attacks on residents of Little Mallow, are puzzling too but no fun at all.
Muriel wanted to silence gossip for fear it would lead to her secret being uncovered. Now she worries more people will suffer unless she reveals it. But how can she, when the secret is not hers alone?
Crystal gets people talking with cake baking, birthday parties, coffee and questions, questions, questions. She’s sifting through insinuations, speculation and lies to get at the truth.
Can the two women replace fear with joy, and move on with their lives?

A quadragenarian is someone who’s between 40 and 49 years old.
I used to be one. Some days that feels like a very long time ago. Most days I act as though I’m nowhere near!
I’ve created another unboxing video for my latest novel, Deadly Words an Innocent Gossip in Little Mallow.
I had help, but my partner in crime has a reputation to uphold and so declined to be credited with the camera work! As is often the case, the book is much better than the film!
