A Message from The Author

Hello everyone,
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying a good book or two. It’s been a busy few months here, and I wanted to take a moment to share a little update from my writing desk — and to thank you for continuing to follow Amy Rowlings on her adventures through pre-war Kent.

When I first introduced Amy in Murder at the Mill, I had no idea she would grow into such a beloved character. What started as a simple idea — a young woman with a sharp mind, a love of detective fiction, and a knack for being in the wrong place at the right time — has now become a full series with a loyal and enthusiastic readership. I’m genuinely grateful for every message, review, and email that tells me Amy has kept you guessing, made you smile, or transported you back to a world on the brink of change.
The latest books in the series have been a joy to write. Each one lets me explore a different corner of pre‑war Kent, from quiet villages and bustling towns to the atmospheric Medway estuary. I’ve always loved this period — the fashions, the films, the sense of community — and it’s been wonderful to see readers connect with it too.

If you’ve enjoyed any of the Amy Rowlings mysteries, one of the most helpful things you can do is leave a short review on Amazon or Goodreads. It doesn’t need to be long — even a single sentence makes a real difference. Reviews help new readers discover the series, and they give the books a fighting chance in a very crowded marketplace.
Unfortunately, health issues have prevented me from working on the next instalment, but I’m hoping that things are improving enough to enable me to return to the driver’s seat and get on with Murder Night, which will be book 7 in the  Amy Rowlings Golden Age Mystery series. Books 8 and 9 are already in the memory banks.  Amy, as always,  will be trying to inveigle her way into a police investigation, and the town of Spinton will  be just as full of secrets as ever.
Thank you again for your support. It means more than you know.
Warm regards,
T.A. Belshaw
