Great Wall of China – Fiona’s first docu-podcast goes live on BBC Sounds

I am absolutely thrilled that my first documentary podcast for Noiser Podcasts is available from today on BBC Sounds. I researched and wrote it as well as interviewed the expert who you will hear in the show. I listened to the whole production for the first time today and am delighted at the job the production team and narrator have done. It’s about the Great Wall of China.

The Crystal Crypt cover reveal!

Poppy Denby’s next adventure, The Crystal Crypt, will be released in November. Today, in collaboration with Love Reading, we reveal its cover! And here it is…

Reporter sleuth Poppy Denby is asked to investigate the mysterious death of an up-and-coming female scientist in an Oxford laboratory known as the Crystal Crypt. The official verdict is that Dr June Leighton died in a tragic accident, but Dr Leighton’s lab assistant believes it was murder. However, when Poppy discovers that the colleague has spent time in a mental institution and has an unresolved murder in her own past, Poppy wonders if she is being misled. But then, another female academic is attacked, and Poppy herself becomes a target. This is the sixth book in the Poppy Denby Investigates series.
