Welcome to my new site!

Welcome to my newly designed website! All the information on the Lois Meade Mysteries and Round Ringford village novels is here, and now you can post comments and ideas for us to discuss.
The drawings of the Lois Meade characters are very special, being the work of Emily Ault, a brilliant illustrator, who has wonderfully captured our old friends, Lois and Cowgill, Derek and Gran and others. They will be appearing one at a time, a week or so apart, so keep in touch!
