This is the perfect summertime mystery - get ready for this cute, cozy novella.

It's been windy today so forgive the hair - here's another peek into my Greek writing retreat. We took the afternoon off and went to the main town, where there's the ruins of an ancient temple and an old Venetian fortress. The colours and quirky details are so inspiring! I love it here!

My writing retreat is absolute heaven. I love being able to get lots of words written and ALSO relax with friends by the sea. We've got all week here in Greece, and these are my highlights so far.

The most important packing of all!

Miss Marple graciously appeared in this short video. She's meant to be promoting the cozy mysteries she stars in, but I suppose it was too much to expect her to mention the Parchment Paper Mysteries. Try and come for her job... please.

Testing recipes for my books involves a lot of trial and error. Sometimes they're as much a mystery as the cozies I write... But they're a lot of fun!

Madame Poirot has found a clue! She thoroughly investigated it, sniffing it from all sides. However, it turned out to be just a red herring.

Who's this? Just your local neighbourhood cozy mystery author, who bought a new jacket and now feels like Dolly Parton and Oprah combined. I'm taking over the world in this thing!

I love my cats, and I love my writing desk... The combination is a problem, however. How am I meant to work with such cuteness distracting me?

I am writing retreat ready! The absolute creative genius who does my nails has outdone himself. I love the fountain pens and feel inspired to smash my word-count goals next week.

I love walking along the river below my house, and this tree is my favourite place to stop for a rest. People bring cute figurines to decorate it with, and they change all the time. I brought down the picnic table from my old dolls' house a while ago, and a giant ceramic guinea pig used it as a bed ❤️

I think I'm pretty photogenic, but Miss Marple has

I think I'm pretty photogenic, but Miss Marple has an understanding of poses and angles I can only dream of. She doesn't even know what a camera is, so how does she give such good face? Is it any wonder I include her in my books?

This is my favourite plant. It's called a polka-do

This is my favourite plant. It's called a polka-dot begonia, and I love the pink under its leaves. I'd never seen one before I encountered it in the village plant shop... Or so I thought. About a month after I brought it home, I realised I'd decorated my kitchen in hundreds of images of it! Talk about meant to be.

I can never pick my favourite spot in my house, but I do really love this cute part of my kitchen. It's right in front of my when I'm washing up... encouraging me to put down the sponge and make a cup of tea 😂

I love the cute, quaint things I see here, and it's such an inspiration for a cozy writer. Here in my village, we have morris dancers, brass bands, and all sorts of art springing up. It's my favourite thing about living here!

Madame Poirot takes her poison checking role very seriously, even with things I bake!

I don't know what's going on! I came downstairs last night and found Madame Poirot hastily taking off a cape and deerstalker hat... What could she have been up to?

This is my favourite place in the house now. A nature themed wall covered in bookish jewellery is exactly what my library / office needs. It's the perfect space for a cozy mystery writer.

I'll make a longer video together showing the installation (be forewarned of my cavalier attitude to DIY safety), but I couldn't resist showing off my book jewellery holder! It's even better than I imagined.
