A Bit of Murder between Friends by Elliott Hay. Coming summer 2023.
Every day, Baz, Peggy, Carole, and Madge get together to knit, drink tea, and gossip. Occasionally, they indulge in a bit of light murder … but only when strictly necessary.
I am loving this interview with Una McCormack on Dan Smith's "Coffee In Space" podcast! She's an amazing author, and they have a lovely conversation about all things Picard and the upcoming Season 3 of the show.
Have a listen: https://www.coffeeinspacepodcast.com/listen-to-the-show/
You might want to check out some of the back episodes as well - I love the friendly, welcoming nature of his podcast.
Dan's a member of my writing group and an all-around solid human being, as well. Enjoy! #Picard #SF #podcast #StarTrek

It's been eating at me still - this question of stories and politics. Is it even possible to have an apolitical or politically neutral story? The answer is clearly no.
So what's driving those screaming about 'woke' politics in our books and movies? What's behind all the #BookBans? I reckon I know, so I blogged about it.

In the endless quest for fiction without politics, have some people lost sight of what makes us human? An exploration of whether apolitical fiction is desirable, and most importantly of all, whether it is even possible.
