I'm really delighted to announce that Pan Macmillan has contracted me to write two further books. The first, provisionally entitled JUBILEE, is about the disappearance of a girl from a Silver Jubilee party in a chocolate-box pretty village 1977 and how this mystery relates to less than chocolate-box pretty events occuring in her farming family decades earlier.
I have no idea what the second one will be about though I did have an idea when we up in Scotland on a long family walk through a very icy, very beautiful copse beside an almost frozen Highland river.
JUBILEE has to be completed by the end of May. I have set myself the task of writing at least one thousand words every working day.

This is good news, Eliza! Not just for you, either... I am halfway through Restitution and very much enjoying it. Looking forward to more books...
Double thanks, Tim! Appreciate it.
Ah... Now the reason for not coming to London is clear!!
Excellent news, Eliza. Hope it all goes well (when you mean you hope to complete it by May, how many drafts do you expect to do?)
Thanks, Matt!
Usually I go through at least four but there won't be time for that, so I will have to be sterner with myself about keeping to the point! I expect there will still be at least three drafts, though.
Fantastic news, Eliza! Congratulations!
Fantastic news, Eliza. I'm only catching this news now. Well done.
Thanks, Frances and Brian!
