đ§ľ Our Friend Alex Spilled the Bobbins!
Well, it seems my secretâs out â Alex Askaroff has told the world about The Poisoned Cup! đŤâ¨
If youâve come over here after seeing his post, welcome to Thimblewick â a little village full of sewing machines, suspicious puddings, and more gossip than a church jumble sale.
When I wrote The Poisoned Cup, I imagined the kind of sewing shop where everyone pops in âjust for a quick spool of threadâ⌠and somehow leaves three hours later knowing whoâs arguing with the WI treasurer and what happened to Mrs. Mullinsâs cat.
Itâs a cosy crime mystery, yes â but also a bit of a love letter to village life, stitching, and the kind of friends who never quite keep your secrets.
So thank you, Alex, for the shout-out (and for keeping the vintage sewing world spinning). And if you havenât yet read the book â the kettleâs on, the scissors are sharp, and someone in Thimblewick definitely knows more than theyâre letting onâŚ

With love,
