A fallen Santa Claus. An orchard under threat. Can the owner of Partridge’s Perry and Cider Orchard catch a killer before the estate is turned to a pulp? 

Stephen dreams of planting pears for his heirs. With the help of his recently deceased wife and an unexpected new flame, he vows to save the orchard from the clutches of a greedy housing development. But when one apple goes bad, it starts to spoil the whole crop. 

While the ghosts of his Christmas past, present, and future warn him not to trust anyone, his fear of losing the orchard makes him the pear-fict target for a poisoned apple. He’s got one chance to solve the mystery before things go pear-shaped.

My Favourite Teas This Week - What I Drink When I Write

As most of you know, I'm a big drinker of tea (I am a Brit after all, it's the law!) and I drink the stuff right after my ice swims, when I'm on the set of a film or tv production, and especially whilst I'm writing a new cozy mystery. So I thought I'd share some of my favourite teas that I've been drinking this week. Right now I'm writing my Christmas cozies and feeling all festive so Christmassy teas are big hits to keep away the winter blues. But I always start my day with my all time favourite Yorkshire Tea (loose tea version) and when I moved into my new place I treated myself to this lovely teapot. I buy my tea from the Kent & Sussex Tea and Coffee Company here in England (they ship worldwide) and I tend to drink rose buds tea in the afternoon (great for the skin and PMT), pine needle tea after my swim first thing (full of Vitamin C), and a relaxing cup of lavender and camomile before bed.

Cozy Mystery Christmas List
Myriorama Cards
I am in love with the revival of storytelling picture cards, something that was popular with the Victorians.  The idea is that you use the 20 picture cards to create landscapes for your stories. Perfect for creating your own mystery! Known as myrioramas. There is a Vimeo video here.  The Mystery Mansion is the first one on my Christmas list this week. Followed by The Hollow Woods, and The Shadow World. 

Also on my Christmas wish list this week are two new teas that I've been indulging in as I've been writing my Christmas series. Both are from the Kent & Sussex Tea and Coffee Company here in the UK. The first one is very festive and reminds me of Ferrero Rocher chocolates a little bit. It is called Pistachio and Marzipan Black Tea. The second is one that I'm pretty sure I'm going to be drinking every single day because it is so refreshing, as well as apparently being good for hormones, moods, and spots, and that is the Rose Buds Tea. Plus it looks so pretty with the pink petals. I've been drinking it on its own in the afternoon as a little pick me up, and have also added it to the Lavender and Camomile tea before bed. I've almost used up what I bought to try it, so will definitely be ordering again and looking to try out more of the rose teas on offer. I know there will be a special deal for Black Friday with 25% off between now and the 2nd December, so if you do plan to get some tea then make sure you use the code BLACKFRIDAY. I know they will ship worldwide.

Cozy Mystery Christmas List
This week, I thought I would share with you a few things that I enjoy from the world of music and television which will help you to get into the festive spirit if you need a little sparkle. Starting with my favourite band of all time Pink Martini and their Christmas album Joy to the World. You can enjoy this for free using the Amazon Music free trial if you don't want to buy it. I'd also like to include one of my patrons Peter Hollens who has a Christmas album which was funded through patrons and you'll find my name on that album if you hunt for it. A few days ago I watched a movie called 'The Man Who Invented Christmas' which is based on Charles Dickens and his book 'A Christmas Carol'. I watched it for free on Netflix but you can watch it on Amazon (free with Prime I think) or buy the DVD. I really enjoyed it partly because it was a nice spin on the original story, but also because it very much reminds me of the struggles myself and lots of other writers face as we write our books. 

My next two suggestions may not be available worldwide as they are both BBC Television series, but you really should watch them if you can because I think they have been the best thing on the telly for a very long time, and I certainly hope that there will be more series to come. The writing is superb and both are quite funny. The first one is called 'Ghosts' and the second series I loved (which starts off a little slower than Ghosts, in my opinion) is called 'What We Do in the Shadows' and is all about a group of vampires who live in New York, stick with it because the later episodes are the best. 

Finally I'm going to add my favourite tea to the list because as you know I'm a bit obsessed with it having recently found it, and am now working my way through their entire range of Christmas teas. Right now I am drinking the Nougat Mousse one as I write. But my all time favourite is the Gingerbread and Orange Biscuit, closely followed by one I tried yesterday which was just like the marzipan feels you get from a proper Christmas cake - Christmas Green Tea - do not be put off by it being green tea because it really does feel completely indulgent and yummy.

John Moffatt stars as the great Belgian detective in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. Famous crime novelist Ariadne Oliver, visiting her friend Judith Butler in the little town of Woodleigh Common, is invited to a Hallowe'en Party put on by society hostess Mrs Rowena Drake for the local teenagers.

During her preparations for the party, the conversation turns to Ariadne's grisly novels. One of the teenagers, Joyce Reynolds, boasts that she once witnessed a murder, although she didn't realise at the time what she'd seen. Convinced that she is just trying to attract attention, no-one believes her - but later she is found tragically drowned in an apple-bobbing tub. Distraught, Ariadne decides to call upon the services of her old friend Hercule Poirot to solve the case.
​
Assuming that Joyce was killed because of what she said, Poirot knows he must find out if the teenager was telling the truth. If so, there is not just one death for him to investigate, but two....

Aunt Mildred declared that no good could come of the Melbury family Christmas gatherings. So when Sir Osmond Melbury, the family patriarch, is discovered - by a guest dressed as Santa Klaus - with a bullet in his head on Christmas Day, the festivities are plunged into chaos.

Nearly everybody stands to reap some sort of benefit from his death excepting Santa Klaus, the one person who seems to have had every opportunity to fire the shot. Various members of the family have their private suspicions about the murderer, and the Chief Constable of Haulmshire wishes before long that he understood them better.
​
In the midst of mistrust, suspicion and hatred, it emerges that there was not one Santa Klaus but two.

Reading for the Oceans

Picture
Did you know that whenever you read my books or leave a review, you are helping to raise money through royalties for my UK registered charity Oceans Project. Thanks to you, Oceans Project is able to send disadvantaged young people from all over the world, on citizen science research expeditions with Earthwatch, doing amazing things like shark conservation in Belize, archaeological research in Italy, and coral reef protection in Australia. Oceans Project celebrates its tenth birthday in October 2020, reaching over 100,000 young people through Skype in the Classroom each year, and that is all thanks to you!!
