Words & gardens. Fiction & flowers. Murder & blooms.

 

Hello, I’m Ciar, an author and journalist living in the historic country town of Lewes in Sussex, which has inspired my debut novel.

A Deadly Discovery is a Golden Age murder mystery starring Virginia Woolf and her sister Vanessa Bell as a pair of unlikely sleuths.

When I’m not dreaming up murderous plots involving members of the Bloomsbury Group, I write about gardening for national publications.

And if I’m not writing I’m usually to be found in my garden shed, or up on my allotment overlooking the South Downs trying my hand at Hügelkultur.
