Dear Reader, I'm Ruth Ward, and I wrote the charity advent calendar book Murder Within Tent. Thanks to you, that book raised thousands of pounds for charity, and afterwards, a lot of you said that you’d like to read more about Bridget. That’s why you're reading this email. A few weeks ago, the First Edition of Murder Within Tent was unpublished, and I’m getting ready for something I’m really proud of - the Second Edition of MWiT and a new book! In a few weeks, Paw Press will be publishing the...

Dear Reader, The Audiobook is Out I'm thrilled to announce that Audible have just approved and released the audiobook of Third Eye. This recording is a solo effort by the amazing Ciaran Saward, ably assisted by the team at Audiofactory. When I heard the first chapters, I thought it's as if they've never been away. There is a lot going on in 3i, especially some of the wedding scenes when half a dozen or more characters speak in rapid succession. It's a tribute to Ciaran's skill as a narrator...

Dear Reader, Third Eye Update Not everyone is remotely interested in the writer's craft, so this email has a short update and a long one. Here is the short update: Third Eye is coming along nicely. No date yet. When it does come out, it will only have one narrator - Conrad. He will tell the story of the stag do and the parts of the wedding he sees. The hen party and the scenes of the Wedding he doesn't see will feature in a following novella, provisionally titled Hitch. For those of you who...
