That Home Depot/milkshake analogy is going to live absolutely rent-free in my head forever.

Cari Hunter, @carihunter.bsky.social, this post reminded me of some of the reviews for your books. The ones who after reading your sapphic CRIME Fiction novels deduct a star because there wasn’t enough romance or the people who are SHOCKED that books based in Northern England include English slang!

LOL, I know! "Wow, you picked up a book clearly labelled 'crime,' written by a British author, and you are devastated that the book is not an American-sounding Romance?" I don't think the book is the problem here, Karen.

I've been writing British WLW crime fiction for ten years and I still regularly devastate readers who prefer their British crime to focus on a romantic pairing and not be so bloody British. I add more British just for them.

I’m American. Need more bloody British! MORE dammit! It’s my favourite 😉
