Say Hello
Follow Me for Free on Patreon
As a busy and prolific writer, I like to optimise my time and energy which means I limit my time on social media platforms. If you want behind the scenes and VIP access, then the best place to follow me is Patreon as I post there daily with new chapters and work in progress and we have our community forum there. Patrons make Free Book Friday possible by supporting me for £1 a month (or £10 per year with annual membership). As a thank you, patrons receive all of my new books and audiobooks for free, before anyone else gets them, plus they get their name on the dedication page of each new book, and voting rights on polls. Patrons are generally my most loyal fans and that's why I spend more time with them than anyone else, however, you can still follow me on Patreon for free, you just won't get access to all of the posts, but that's where I am most active if you want to interact and get the latest news.
Cozy Mystery Book Explorer Group on Facebook
You can also find me from time to time on Facebook and in the Cozy Mystery Book Explorer group on Facebook. This is where I'll be live streaming my BLDSA long distance and ice swims once I'm back in the Lake District. I sometimes post pictures of daily things (mostly my cats, and at some point my new puppy when I get one), cups of tea, and my latest floral arrangement on my Instagram page. I sometimes write in real-time live from my desk (the not very exciting life of a full time author!) on my YouTube channel. If I'm looking a bit depressed because I'm struggling with a scene or like I'm in that post lunch struggling to keep my eyes open slump then you can always perk me with a cup of coffee or tea. I am on Twitter and LinkedIn but I don't hang out there much.
Want to Post Me a Physical Letter or Some Fun New Stationary?
Yep, I am a fan-mail and stationary geek and I LOVE to hear from readers and to see those cool postal marks and stamps from all over the world. I'm not able to be a penpal or to reply personally because, well, then I wouldn't have any time to write new books for you, at least until the technology is available to clone myself - one day, who knows:) But I do read every letter, and they remind me how lucky I am to be a part of such an awesome community of cozy mystery fans and amateur sleuthers. Plus it makes my accountant Heather really jealous when all my post and presents arrives at her office and it gives me an excuse to walk down to the dock by the North Sea to collect them from her office - which gets my steps in on the old fitness app, bonus!
To make Heather the accountant jealous, send post and parcels to : Sarah Weldon/Isla Britannica Books, c/o Waltons Clerk Whitehill Accountants, Maritime House, Harbour Walk, Hartlepool, UNITED KINGDOM, TS24 0UX

Want to Book Me for a Speaking Event or a Film Production?
Claire looks after all my school and other professional speaker bookings. I used to do a lot of STEM events for free in my role as a STEM Ambassador, but I'm not able to do this anymore, (unless you are very local to me). Claire only looks after paid speaker bookings and these start at £250 per hour plus VAT and travel/accommodation on top. For film production bookings, contact Craig at LB Casting or Poppy at Onset. For cruise ship speaking and literary or publishing events contact me directly. I can also organise personalised and bulk order copies of all my books, perfect for giving out to event attendees or book club members.
