Charlie Cochrane - Mysteries with a dash of slash, romances with just a pinch of spice

Those of you who, like me, enjoy reading murder mysteries, keep an eye out for events this June connected with National crime reading month. I'm intending to mark the month by submitting the latest Lindenshaw mystery!

If you like your mysteries with an added touch of LGBTQ+ then you might like these two sites: Bring Crime Out of the Closet was a blogathon we set up for June 2023's Crime reading month to celebrate this undermentioned part of the genre. Then there's the excellent Facebook group LGBTQ+ Mystery Suspense Thrillers which exactly delivers what it says in the group name. 

You can, of course, find lots of free crime stories on my freebies page. Highlights include goodies like Lindenshaw  extras and a miscellany of mysteries featuring the first murder story I ever wrote. And a couple who were probably the prototype of Orlando and Jonty.

Now, please excuse me if I have a little "squee". I got sent the most wonderful Christmas present, in the form of a jigsaw depicting my covers. I'm having such fun doing it, and revisiting so many glorious covers that my publishers have produced. 

 

And finally, don't forget that Lume Books have made the first twelve Cambridge Fellows books available in one box set and given them a brilliant new cover. Isn't it gorgeous? And a great price, too.
