My fourth writing highlight for 2024 was holding my first in-person book launch. It was a wonderful evening, with so many people showing up to support and celebrate the release of Death in Douglas Glade that we had to get more chairs out!
Palmerston North City Library hosted the event and put on the nibbles; Bruce McKenzie Booksellers supplied the wine and were on hand to sell the books; and Bing Turkby joined me up the front to ask the questions and keep the conversation flowing.
For more about the event (including photos), check out this post on my website.
What’s the book about, though?
Death in Douglas Glade is the third of The Milverton Mysteries, a cosy mystery series set in an enchanting small town nestled amongst stunning New Zealand scenery. Here’s the blurb:
