About this series

Murder in real time disrupts a writing course for aspiring crime writers. Felicity’s writing friend has to drop out of this week’s course at an idyllic Welsh hotel, where two contrasting writers are to give help and inspiration to ten would-be crime novelists. Shy and uncertain of her talent, Felicity persuades Dodie to take up her friend's hotel booking, though she will not attend the course.

They get to meet the aspiring crime writers, as well as the two tutors. Billy Childs is a popular writer of both contemporary and historical novels, while Mary O'Doyle writes literary fiction much admired by the cognoscenti. Susan, one of the students has already had a novel published. George is a former police detective, who seems to know Eddie rather well. Soon there are divisions between Mary's fans who aspire to her literary style and Billy's who aim for more popular novels. Dodie and William's non-writing wife Phyllis watch from the sidelines as tensions arise. Valerie's room is invaded one night, the truth about Susan's novel emerges, and then there is a real murder.

Most writers can't help themselves! It's a compulsion. Getting published, though, is something really special, and having been so fortunate myself I now try to help aspiring writers by handing on tips it took me years to work out. I've published over 60 titles, including four in the How To Books' Successful Writing Series, and Writing Historical Fiction for Studymates.I have judged short story competitions, been a final judge for the Harry Bowling Prize and was an adviser to the 3rd edition of Twentieth Century Romance and Historical Writers 1994. If you want to find out more about your favourite authors, consult this book. I once wrote an article on writing romantic fiction for the BBC's web page, for Valentine's day.I have given talks and workshops for the Arts Council and at most of the major Writing Conferences, and helped establish the Romantic Novelists' Association's annual conference. I was Chairman of the RNA 1991-3, ran their New Writers' Scheme and edited their newsletter. I am now a Vice-President.As well as writing I have edited books for Transita, featuring women 'of a certain age', and for Choc Lit where gorgeous heros are the norm.I was asked to write A Century of Achievement, a 290 page history of my old school, Queen Mary's High School, Walsall, and commissioned to write a book on Castles and Corvedale to accompany a new circular walk in the area.Most of my Regencies written under the pseudonym Sally James are now published in ebook format as well as many others of my out of print novels which my husband is putting into ebook format. Our daughter Debbie is helping with designing the covers. For details of all my books and my many pseudonyms see my website.
