Tragic deaths in a badly written novel
This brilliant cartoon by Tom Gauld could not express writing more succinctly or humorously. Please click on the image to enlarge it and read the fabulous captions. I came across it on Twitter when fellow author Linda Huber @LindaHuber19 tweeted it. I contacted the artist, Tom Gauld, and asked if I could reproduce it on my blogs and he generously gave permission. I hope readers, and writers enjoy it. (I often feel like I'm falling down the plot holes!!)

my crime novels are set around the sea so it is inevitable that I will
have bodies in the water, by the water, and washed up beside the water!
So here's some fascinating facts from my research - not for the

What's on in May 2021 - writing, walking, flying and sailing!
Writing is the order of the month for May - when isn't it? I hear you
say. Well, OK, rarely. This May 2021, with lock down restrictions easing
where I live in England, I am hoping to get out and about further afield more and draw
inspiration from my coastal walks, from the bays, boatyards and
harbours where I am always on the look out for a good place to put a body (fictional, of course). It was a very chilly start on Monday 26 April when I took the Hovercraft (that's the flying) across to the fabulous Isle of Wight, the first time since the second lock down eased and very glad I was to be back there too. I'll be returning a few more times in May.POSTED BY: PAULINE ROWSON
