Off on an exhibition…

On Tuesday we had an out an about day on a sunny hot day where the Lighthouse Arts Centre was nicely quiet to see the Dunkirk exhibition, which happened on the 14th and 15th May 1940, and a brief detour to look at the newly repainted underpass. It felt right to visit it on the 85th anniversary and I'll definitely go back before it closes.

The Dunkirk exhibition covers a period I know well because of the Esther and the Professor books, but hearing and seeing it brought it home to me, just as collecting memories for an oral history project once did.

So here, today, it’s mainly pictures once I’ve put a quick plug in for this weeks special offers on sale at 99p in the UK and 99c in the US.

There are the first 4 books in the Shadows series, which I write as Eleanor Neville, and whose characters are now starting to pop up in the Amy Hammond and Lucy Williams series, and they are Fallen Angel, Haunted Angel, Running Home and Running Scared. Slightly darker, slightly sexier but nothing bad.

Then there are the first 3 books in the Lucy Williams series which is about a spy living under a false identity. She’s a widow with a young daughter and has been told very firmly to keep out of trouble, but life has other plans for her…

These are Child’s Play, Fete Worse than Death and Snakes and ladders.


So have a good week until we meet again on Sunday by which time I shall have finished the first draft of a new Windy Bay book, hopefully while sitting in the garden in the sunshine!

One of the pleasure boats that went to Dunkirk. There's still one moored up by the lifting bridge...

What a gorgeous piece of art. It's totally transformed the underpass
