Dear Ann, I write you from Texas where I am spending the January doldrums reading through the Lois Meade collection. I love those books. The characters are so real and the village life you describe is so special. My grandson gave me ” Foul Play at Four” for Christmas and I am anxious to know if you have a “FIVE” planned.

Sincerely,

Jane

Hi, Kim – No more waiting! Foul Play at Four is out now (Amazon etc), with Lois hot on the trail of a pair of petty thieves, whose crime leads them into very dark waters. Happy reading!

PS: Found Guilty at Five is in the pipeline …

Just read Foul Play at Four and enjoyed it. However, I was left with a couple of small questions. Does Dot ever get the dog back- and where was he when Cowgill picked up Clive hitchhiking? Also on a similar note- whatever happened to poor little Orly? Taken by an owl, trapped in an ice house (although fed and cared for), then left by the side of the road after he farted in the car???? True these are small points, but I couldn’t help but wonder– perhaps they will be back in the next book?

Hello, Alisa – not sure where you have got to! The latest Lois Meade assignment is Foul Play at Four, and is now out. The next in the pipeline after that is Found Guilty at Five. Out sometime next year (2012!). I do hope you continue to enjoy Lois and Derek, their family and friends – and enemies ….

Ivy Beasley has been busy, too, and The Wild Wood Enquiry will be the next to emerge.

Best wishes for the New Year – Ann

I was wondering if there were going to be any more books in this series? I miss reading about Lois and Derek.

Thanks!

Hi, Amelia. Thank you so much for your comment. I was envious of `a quiet lake in Maine`. A similar location is perhaps my favourite lighthouse on the Mull of Galloway in Scotland. All lighthouses are automated now, so the lightkeeper`s cottage is let for holidays. It is high on a cliff, and very beautiful. All of this will probably turn up in a novel sooner or later!

Glad you like Lois and her adventures. She has become a very real person to me!

With best wishes – Ann P.

Hi, Susan. I was so pleased to have your message on a dull Monday morning! Now I shall set to work with renewed enthusiasm – at the moment I have to get Lois`s son Jamie out of a ticklish situation.

With very best wishes – Ann

Hi, Chris! No, I don`t have any plans to bring back the man claiming to be Rob`s brother. I believe he was difficult to trace, but the police finally arrested him and he spent some time in prison. He became a reformed character, and spent most of his time teaching illiterate prisoners to read. (I just made that up, of course. You might like to have a go at an alternative scenario?)

Glad you are enjoying the books. Happy reading! Ann P.
