There is one with Fens in the name . Google it on Amazon
Hi, @Sarah, my next book is set in Lincolnshire, though it isn’t out until early summer. I am from Skegness originally, and was really inspired by the area. Are you from around there?
I am originally from Lincoln . And now live on an old raf Base in between Gainsborough and Lincoln
It’s a great place, with a really unique atmosphere, I think. I live in Birmingham now, but I go bak all the time to visit family – and get my fix of the big sky 🙂
I’m so looking forward to reading this @Barbara. I think you should come here to Lincs for your launch!!
Thanks, @Anne! I love the idea of a Lincolnshire launch for my book! Perhaps I could have it somewhere in Lincoln… Will have a think 🙂
Oh yes and if it was I could maybe get to a real book launch xx
Brilliant! Will see what I can do and let you know, @Sarah 🙂
Think the name is Joy Ellis
Is Norfolk close? (I’m from Ireland so forgive if I’m totally out) The Ruth Galloway books by Elly Griffiths are set there.. and are brilliant ?
Love the Ruth Galloway books but not close to Lincolnshire!!
‘Missing, presumed’ does Cambridge, Peterborough and Deeping St James. Deeping is across the border of the river into Lincolnshire.
Thanks Louise Brown, Deeping closed to me. Will use this. X
excuse mistake – should be close…!!
@Louise, Who wrote, Missing, Presumed, please? Susie Steiner?? Don’t think she is a TBC author??
Yes it’s Susie Steiner. I won her book off the tbc site, so I don’t know. I assumed that she is because of that? X
I’m sorry Val, I didn’t realise she wasn’t a tbs author. Sorry x
Lisa Hartley, On Laughton Moor, and Double Dealing. Both great reads and set in Lincolnshire x
