My darlings,
          
          As I mentioned before, 'Official Town Business' was nominated for Book of the Month by the Mystery & Thriller Ambassadors! ✨
          
          It’s all rather exciting — and endlessly flattering! The interview about the book — and the ever-growing world of Fleckney, where villages multiply and fictional families keep acquiring new and increasingly eccentric relatives — is now live! You can read it here: https://www.wattpad.com/1585281207-book-of-the-month-standout-mysteries-october-2025
          
          Thank you, as always, for reading, sharing, and cheering me on. You make this whole writing adventure feel like the loveliest sort of mischief.
          
          Love,
          K.
          Cheers! xx

My darlings,
          
          I’ve had a message saying 'Official Town Business' has been chosen as a guest feature for “Mystery Book of the Month” by @mystery— they’ve asked me a few questions about the story, and I’m happily working on my answers now.
          
          It means a lot, as 'Official Town Business' was the start of my whole shared universe — and I know Imogen and her particular brand of investigative chaos are dear to many of you, too.
          
          I’ll keep you posted if this little nomination leads to anything more!
          
          Love,

Just a quick note, my darlings,
          
          I’m nearly done editing the next chapter of "Romance Test." You should be able to enjoy it for dessert after your Friday supper. Meanwhile, a little Italian Holyoake goodness will be waiting for you Friday morning. Honestly, is there a better way to start the day? Haha!
          
          Hope it puts a smile on your face.
          
          Love,
          K. xx

Chapter 2 of "Tenderly Exposed" is up! I'm not saying my regular updating is back... but I am VERY inspired *insert the gif of Bruno Madrigal knocking on wood*

My lovelies,
          
          I’ve posted the first chapter of Tenderly Exposed as a teaser while I keep working on "Romance Test," "A Woman About Town," and the next chapter in the Italian Holyoakes series.

          It’s been a stop‑start stretch lately with real‑life admin and legal hurdles that took the wind out of me. Writing is the thing that steadies me, and I’ve missed being here properly.
          
          I’m really grateful to everyone who’s still around, checking in, or rereading the old chapters. It means more than I can say.
          
          I’m very much invested into "A Woman About Town" and "Romance Test" — the latter is nearly wrapped up, which means more brain space for holiday cheer and hunky Italians.
          
          If you read the teaser, let me know what you think — your feedback genuinely does help me keep the momentum going.
          
          Thank you for the patience, the messages, and the quiet loyalty. You’re the reason I keep opening this page again.
          
          Love,
          K. xx

My darlings,
          
          Please expect the most unexpected of updates tomorrow… an epilogue for an older Christmas story — A VILLAIN FOR CHRISTMAS!
          
          I know I’ve only been updating ROMANCE TEST lately — life rather insisted on a detour through a maze of inheritance papers, solicitors’ letters, and those charmingly “official” envelopes that never bring good news. But that’s all finally behind me now, and I can breathe — and more importantly, write — again.
          
          For quite some time now, Eric’s twin siblings have been rattling in my mind like a pair of locked trunks full of secrets — loud, persistent, and far too entertaining to ignore. If you know the Holyoakes, you’ll know exactly what sort of mischief that promises. Naturally, that led me back to reread Eric’s story — and, well, one thing led to another, and suddenly there was an epilogue.
          
          See you tomorrow for a little Christmas cheer in October.
          
          With love (and biscuits),
          K.
          
          Cheers! xx
