Hi Peg – thank you so much for your nice comment! I loved writing the Round Ringford books, but then got a fancy for murder and detection! I hope you enjoy the Lois Meade series, and not forgetting the Ivy Beasley (you have met her in Round Ringford!) series, where she has moved to Suffolk and set up an Enquiry Agency. So far, there are three of those,and one more Lois in the pipeline.

Best wishes – Ann P

Hi Ann
I had the pleasure of reading your Round Ringford novels a few years ago when they were readily available. They are wonderful and I urge other fans to seek them out. They are well worth the search, like others I was totally immersed in them. It’s sad to hear there are no plans to write any further RR books but you alone know what your creative ‘juices’ are leaning towards.
I have yet to read the Louis Meade series and am off to Amazon to buy what I can from their kindle store.
Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us and providing so much literary pleasure to thousands of fans. May your gift long continue.

Peg

Hello, Joan. Nice to know I have a local fan! There is no news yet of the Round Ringford novels being on Kindle. Penguin US now have all the rights on my books, and so hopefully they will get round to it. Perhaps a blast from you will do the trick!

With all good wishes for 1912. Ann

Hi Ann
I am a great fan and live in the same area as you. Is there any news on the possibility of getting our friends from Round Ringford on Kindle yet?

Thank you so much, Tinga, for your lovely message! It arrived on a day when I have been working away at the final draft of the new Lois story, to be titled Found Guilty at Five, and now I am off to make a cup of tea feeling much cheered by your comments!

Ivy has been busy too, and in The Wild Wood Enquiry, she is up to all her old tricks.

Have a lovely Christmas, and happy reading! Ann.

I cannot thank you enough, Ann, for the pleasure that the Round Ringford books have given me. I bask in your ability to invite me into a complete world, with new personalities in every book and growth in the lives and loves of the familiar characters. I love the animals who hold their own amongst the cast. I, too, would shout to the heavens if you decided to continue the series, but will content myself with beginning the Ivy Enquiries. How creative to continue the village thread through Lois into Ivy! (I read the Lois series first, and continue to do so with delight.) Thinking about all of your books can get me smiling and laughing, and they will always hold a firm space in the crowded shelves of my library. Thank you and all best wishes – Tinga

Thank you so much, Kim, for your lovely comment! I am not planning any more Round Ringford stories at the moment, though I may come back to them when Lois and Ivy (Lois Meade and Ivy Beasley) have had enough of me. Ivy, of course, as you will know, figures in Round Ringford, and then reappears in splendid form in the Ivy Beasley Enquiries. Very nice to hear from you. All the best – Ann

Hi, Anne with an e – thank you so much for your message. Ellen and Doris are, I hope, still around, and waiting for me to get in touch. They miss Ivy, naturally! Ivy is now living in Suffolk, in Springfields Residential Home, where she was booked in by her much younger cousin, Deirdre. Deirdre is rich and widowed, and managed to prevail on Ivy to move by stressing their family connection. I don`t know if you`ve read the Ivy ones, but you will see that she is her same old sharp self!

Very best wishes – Ann P
