Family life sucks - my very ill father-in-law is now in hospital. I’m struggling to find time for my WIP, with hospital visits, mother-in-law, work and ‘everything else’. But I’m now itching to finish off writing my next book - currently at around 64K words.
It features a missing woman, a Jewish-Muslim interfaith charity project, sinister goings-on & possible murder(s). All set in and around London, England.

Looking for something different in crime fiction?
The Redeemer was shortlisted for Best Debut Crime Novel of 2022 in the 2022 Crime Fiction Lover Awards.
A recent magazine review in the USA wrote: ‘Faye Kellerman – behold your British counterpart.’
Threatening fake historic markers, vigilante killings, a Jewish community – what’s the link? The clock is ticking to the next murder.

Well, The Redeemer is six months old today … and what a six months it’s been.
If my book was an actual baby, I’d be taking photos & celebrating this milestone!
Considering The Redeemer took me 2.5 years to write & another 3 years (of agent & publisher rejections) to do anything with it, I probably should be!
I’m proud of all of The Redeemer’s achievements so far (and of my 2 human babies too). Now I just need to finish writing Book 2.

Yesterday we drove around some of East/North-East London so I could do some book research, although I create fictional locations based on real ones (it’s easier for artistic licence).
It was pouring with rain so we didn’t get out of the car – or even stop. My OH was driving. I’m not convinced that all of my photos will be useful enough to create a sense of place in my next book. 🤣

#Chanukah (or #Hanukkah ) – the #Jewish Festival of Lights – begins on Sunday evening. It lasts for 8 days.
We traditionally light candles on a menorah (also called a chanukiah), eat fried foods such as latkes and donuts (doughnuts in the UK) and play a game with a spinning top called a dreidel.
Last year, I designed and #crocheted my own menorah picture (I couldn’t find a pattern online), plus crocheted a doughnut & a dreidel.

Just discovered the hashtags #mazeldon #jewdiverse and #jewniverse on here. The equivalent of #jtwitter
Are there many other British Jews here, seeking refuge from the antisemitism on the blue bird site?

Threatening fake historical plaques, vigilante killings, a Jewish community in an English town – what’s the link? The clock is ticking to the next murder.

@jewwhohasitall Finally finding some of #jmastodon - or whatever the equivalent name is. Plus, my Jewish-flavoured murder mystery debut novel has been shortlisted for a debut crime writing award (astonishingly, as I’m self-published). I’m in the UK, BTW.

Finally getting close to the halfway mark of my WIP. I’m speeding up - slowly - now I’ve done some more planning, plotting and characterisation.
Recent good news about The Redeemer and some amazing publicity opportunities are nudging me forwards.

Does anyone else get plot ideas at weird times? I woke at 3am, and then had an idea to solve an plot hole in my WIP. Couldn’t find a notepad so grabbed my phone, typed it into notes and (eventually) went back to sleep.

Worked out the importance of boosting posts by people I know from the blue bird place, to help my (previously mutual) followers find them and follow them too. Hopefully others will do the same with anything I post. I know it’s called ‘toot’, but I just can’t get used to that. 🤣

My crocheted girl is busy writing on her #crocheted laptop while her crocheted companion strums away on his crocheted guitar.
She’s making more progress with her WIP than I am with mine — probably because she’s not on social media! 🤷🏻♀️😂
