There is a British expression to describe a wonderful overwhelming feeling: to have all your Christmases come at once. That’s how I feel today. Here are the final copies of my debut novel, SECRETS IN THE WATER, the first book in the Meredith Island Mysteries, a traditional British mystery series set on a Welsh island. Many heartfelt thanks to Netta Johnson and the Stonehouse team for believing in me and the weird and wonderful folks who live on Meredith Island. #CrimeWritersCanada #CrimeCymru #sistersinc @stonehousepublishing

Just reposting a picture @ffionaynsley posted today of her in the studio recording Non's chapters of A Bitter Remedy for @bolindaaudio. Exciting times @canelo_co @friccar @evelknevile! #nonandbasilinoxford #welshcrimefiction #oxfordcrimefiction #victoriancrimefiction #crimecymru #crimefictionaudiobook #welshvoiceactors
This week I had a meeting with the two actors who are going to give voice to Non and Basil on the audio version of A Bitter Remedy which was really exciting! 😍 The book is being published by @BolindaAudio the brilliant company that is responsible for @BorrowBox (which you'll know all about if you borrow audio books from your local library). @ffionaynsley will be bringing Non to life and @iestynarwel who read the Teifi Valley Coroner books so wonderfully, will be voicing Basil. I'm thrilled to have these two fantastic actors bringing my books into the audio world - so many, many thanks to my agent, the wonderful @friccar, who sold the rights to Bolinda. Look out audio-world, Non and Basil are coming! #nonandbasilinoxford #welshcrimefiction #oxfordcrimefiction #victoriancrimefiction #crimecymru #crimefictionaudiobook #welshvoiceactors
When you're a debut writer, everything is a first. This is my first review, and it's lovely. I've come to the realization that books are like children. As their creator you believe they're wonderful, and you send them out into the world confident that other people will love and appreciate them too. At the same you fear they might bring home a critical comment on their report card or be rejected by the popular kids in the class. But you keep sending them out because you can't keep them at home forever. @stonehousepublishing @crimewriterscanada @sincnational #Crimecymru #sistersincrimetoronto #amateurdetectives #meredithislandmysteries #welshmystery #welshbookstagrammers #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #booktok #booktube #blogger #review

There's a wonderful review of The Skeleton Army in @nationcymru today by my fellow crime author, @myfanwyalexander "The Skeleton Army, which is the second in Hawkins’ Oxford Mysteries is, if anything, even more successful than the first, A Bitter Remedy. We have come to expect a cleverly plotted mystery from Hawkins, a story with more twists that the staircase of an Oxford College but in this second novel, she broadens her scope, bringing in Town as well as Gown to a greater extent. In A Bitter Remedy, the Oxford outside the walls was something of a dangerous backdrop, not unlike the Wild Wood in The Wind in the Willows, but here the relationship between the two parts of the city is explored in a political and religious context which gives a dynamic richness to the story. The context for the investigation of the murder which forms the heart of the story is the arrival of the Salvation Army in Oxford and its opposition by an organised gang of thugs funded by the brewers..." You can read the rest of the review here: https://nation.cymru/culture/book-review-the-skeleton-army-by-alys-hawkins/ Many thanks to Myfanwy for such a considered and in depth review - I'm humbled by the words of an author whose own work I very much admire. While I'm at it, thanks also to anybody who's read The Skeleton Army and taken the time to review it on Amazon (which you can do even if you didn't buy the book there). Online reviews can make or break a book, so every single one is very, very gratefully received! #historicalcrimefiction #oxfordcrimefiction #victoriancrimefiction #crimecymru #welshcrimefiction #nonandbasilinoxford

All four 2024 Stonehouse Publishing authors are coming to your town on Monday, June 3rd.

There is only one thing that can stop Kate from discovering the truth about her aunt’s death—her murderer. Hopefully there's nothing to stop Edmonton area friends and readers from coming out to the launch of SECRETS IN THE WATER, my first book in the MEREDITH ISLAND MYSTERY series, on Saturday, June 1st. If Anthony Bidulka, Joanne Jackson, and Mirjam Dikken--the other fabulous Stonehouse Publishing authors--don't get you out, there will be food and drinks! So come for the food; stay for the writers.

BACKSTORY: Getting the rights back to my first eight Cait Morgan Mysteries means I get the chance to spruce them up (hope you like the new cover!) and release SECOND EDITIONS. This will take some time, but I'm delighted to be able to tell you that the first in the series is now available in hardcover (for the first time ever), paperback, and digital formats. NOTE: the entire series is STILL available in digital format while the print versions are being worked on...and, no, the stories haven't changed, though the way they are told has been ( a bit!).

IT'S TODAY!! My new Non and Basil novel - The Skeleton Army, the second in the Oxford Mysteries sereis - is published today! OK, got a bit over-excitable there, I know it's been on sale in Waterstones for the last week because people have been writing to tell me how much they're enjoying it - but today is official publication day and I'm delighted that Non and Basil are back out there solving murders and smashing Victorian societal expectations! 😊 You can buy the book here: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-skeleton-army-alis-hawkins/7613662 from Amazon, or from any bookshop. If they don't have it in stock, they'll order it from you and it's always good for booksellers to know there's demand out there for my books! Hope you're all having a good day - now I need to go and get on with book 3... #publicationday #victoriancrimefiction #oxfordcrimefiction #welshcrimefiction #crimecymru #gŵylcrimecymrufestival #historicalcrimefiction #theskeletonarmy #nonandbasilinoxford

TUESDAY 5 MARCH at 2pm, not ONE but TWO #CRIMECYMRU authors will be at @wbc_libraries Wokingham at 2pm. Wales Week / Berkshire has had a connection with Crime Cymru since our first year when @author_matt_johnson and @alishawkinsauthor came for an evening in Binfield so we are are delighted to welcome two more Crime Cymru authors @chrislloydauthor and @markell1 to Berkshire in our fifth year. Chris Lloyd was born in an ambulance racing through a town he’s only returned to once, which probably explains a lot. The result of his lifelong interest in World War 2 and resistance and collaboration in Occupied France, The Unwanted Dead (Orion) is Chris’s first novel set in Paris, featuring Detective Eddie Giral. The series will see Eddie negotiate his way through the Occupation, trying to find a path between resistance and collaboration, all the time becoming whoever he must be to survive the ordeal descended on his home. Mark Ellis is a thriller writer from Swansea and a former barrister and entrepreneur. He is the creator of DCI Frank Merlin, an Anglo-Spanish police detective operating in World War 2 London. His books treat the reader to a vivid portrait of London during the war skilfully blended with gripping plots, political intrigue and a charismatic protagonist. Head to Wokingham Library on Tuesday 5th March at 2pm to hear Chris and Mark talk about their books, life, Crime Cymru and Gŵyl Crime Cymru Festival.

#flashbackfriday Not all my published works are fictional. Having set up a marketing communications agency and training company in 1988, by 1991 I had been appointed an examiner for the UK's Communication, Marketing and Advertising Education (CAM) Foundation, and was appointed as an examiner by the UK's Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) in 1992. Early in 1994 I was commissioned to write a workbook for the CIM's series of texts specifically designed to help those preparing for their professional marketing communications qualifications exams in 1996. A great honour. So what did I do? I spent my entire advance on three months' rent for an apartment a couple of blocks back from the Promenade des Anglais, In Nice, in the south of France. Of course I did! Did I have a fantastic three months? Of course I did! Did I meet fascinating and wonderful people who are still my friends now? Of course I did! Did I write the book? Umm...not exactly. Upon my return to London, I wrote the book...fast! Luckily, the fact that I'd worked in advertising and PR for a decade meant I was used to tight deadlines. PHEW. NOTE: I had the chance to check the galley proofs, EXCEPT FOR THE CONTENTS PAGE (yes, I am shouting that bit). The day my parents received the copy I posted to them in Wales from London, I spoke to Mum on the phone. 'Is Chapter 9 supposed to be called 'Pubic Relations'," she asked. I phoned the publisher five minutes later!😂😂 #amwriting #cathyace #cathyace #cathyaceauthor #caitmorganmysteries #thewrongboy #WISEenquiriesgencymysteries #freeatlasttv #crimecymru #crimewriterscanada #internationalthrillerwriters #bookgram #mysteryreads #mysterybooks #amreadingmystery #bookish #murdermystery #cosymystery #traditionalmystery #cozymystery #mysterywriters #crimewritersassociation #crimefictionwriter #crimefictionauthor #writerslife #writerslifeforme #gŵylcrimefest #gŵylcrimecymrufestival #severnhouse #joffebooks #freeatlasttv

One of the very first 'grown up' films I ever remember watching was Jason and the Argonauts with the very scary scene where skeleton warriors rose up out of the ground to stagger jerkily towards Jason and his friends, brandishing their swords bonily. I'd have been about 6 and those scowling skeletons (they are, right - It's not just me?) made a huge impression on me. That image were never far from my mind as I wrote The Skeleton Army, despite the fact that I knew that the forces concerned were men of flesh and blood. So why have I called my latest novel 'the Skeleton Army'?
