At the Royal Oak Alveley, celebrating the release of my debut novel 'No Women Were Harmed'

[Heather Mottershead @JM33Heather]

Not long now! My debut novel , 'No Women Were Harmed', will be released on 18th September. Just the read for Autumn nights.

[Heather Mottershead @JM33Heather]

A proper September morning - a nip in the air, dew on the grass, sheep in the field, and the Clee in the distance. You can almost hear the mushrooms growing!

First time in Scotland (I know), I'll be at the Aye Write festival in Glasgow in November

Now for the next book! I have two ideas at the moment- both for historical books - could I ever write one in present time?
1 c1725 Bridgnorth/Padstow- mystery/ coming of age.
2 c1930 Weimar/Nazi era Germany coming of age of English girl.

[Heather Mottershead @JM33Heather]

Delighted to say that Catrin Walker-Booth will be the voice of Lily.

[Heather Mottershead @JM33Heather]

Now in the process of choosing a narrator for the audiobook - will be exciting to hear a narrator's interpretation of Lily's voice

[Heather Mottershead @JM33Heather]

Now at copy edit stage - exciting times

[Heather Mottershead @JM33Heather]

A wonderful view of 1911 Blackpool - North Shore, a favourite destination since the coming of the railways and mentioned more than a few times in the novel! Reproduced front of postcard only as this is well out of copyright.
