Mothering Sunday: a perfect gift for her and for a special Hospice.

2 Comments

 Mothering Sunday and what better gift than a copy of In A Word: Murder. Be it for Kindle or a Paperback copy this is the gift which keeps on giving. Every purchase helps fund this wonderful caring organisation; The Princess Alice Hospice in Surrey where they provide end of life care. Hospices do not receive any government funding; they exist on donations and in purchasing this book you will be donating towards the care of a terminally ill patient. For less that the cost of a cup of coffee, a slice of cake or a bar of chocolate, why not replace the gift to your mother of chocolates and flowers with a gift which will give her years of reading enjoyment.  A book can be read many times over and by many year in year out.   Why not replace those disposable gifts with a gift which will help provide care for someone who might not be here next Mothering Sunday? Featuring the contributions from Seven Crime authors from around the world: Martin Edwards, Margot Kinberg, Pamela Griffiths, Paula K Randall, Sarah Ward, Elizabeth S. Craig, and me. Illustration is by Lesley Fletcher There is bound to be something for everyone. Follow the links to buy your copy of In a Word: Murder and give the gift which keeps on giving.

I am thrilled to announce that as from 14th February 2014 the Crime Anthology In  A Word: Murder  – which features two of my short stories – is available not only on Kindle but is now available in Paperback. You cannot have failed to notice that this book is in aid of a wonderful charity, The Princess Alice Hospice, and is in memory of Maxine Clarke, Crime Author, Blogger and Editor. My father died in a Hospice in 1987 and the care he received was second to none.  British Hospices are funded solely from donations and so I am very proud to be associated with raising funds for yet another worthy cause such as this Hospice. Featuring the contributions from Seven Crime authors from around the world: Martin Edwards, Margot Kinberg, Pamela Griffiths, Paula K Randall, Sarah Ward and me.

Wishing all my wonderful friends and followers here the very happiest and fun-filled Festive Season and the happiest, safest, healthiest and most prosperous New Year. I have really loved meeting you and chatting with you all here and want to thank you all for making this blog a place I like to visit every day – such fun to see what you are all doing and what comments you have made. I do hope you enjoy visiting and catching up with me as well. I am going to be away for a few days and so I want to let you know that I will catch up with you when I get back. If you are still thinking about gifts for someone who likes to read Crime stories, do please consider helping The Princess Alice Hospice and purchasing In A Word: Murder.  They exist on donations only and do such a wonderful job for those who are terminally ill.  They cared for Crime writer, blogger and editor Maxine Clarke especially. Maxine passed away last year and this book is to her memory and benefit of the Hospice. I think of  In A Word: Murder,  as the gift which keeps on giving.  I would be thrilled if you gave this as a gift and by doing so, helped the Hospice and their patients at the same time. You can purchase ‘In A Word: Murder’ on amazon: US Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/In-Word-Murder-An-Anthology-ebook/dp/B00GFXNZYE/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1383674275&sr=8-8&keywords=in+a+word%3A+murder UK Kindle: http://www.amazon.co.uk/In-Word-Murder-An-Anthology-ebook/dp/B00GFXNZYE/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1383674321&sr=8-12&keywords=In+word+Murder The Princess Alice […]
