If you like your murder mysteries to come with sharp British wit, a modern multicultural London setting and a diverse cast of quirky characters, these two are just what you're looking for. Read the reviews and the blurb for yourself and try to solve them before Lance does!

www.instagram.com/reel/DMV2uD0... more detailed review coming soon. If you use that platform, give @chanareadshorror.bsky.social and me a follow over there!

See next bleet for a quick and easy way to read this wonderful review by @thebooklorefairy.bsky.social "The thing I love about this series is the wholesome, almost slice-of-life feel of events; they are not just dire, but also heartwarming, inspiring, and wholly entertaining."

They said that they would let me keep my shirt on just this once, as long as I agreed not to wear any shoes or attempt to serve anyone. Bloody good breakfast. 😁

I was touched to be mentioned in the acknowledgements of my friend's second book in his debut series. Very kind. 🌸 'The Weapon and the Fruit: Any Body Can Murder' A quirky caper – darkly comic mystery @lebendon.com www.amazon.co.uk/Weapon-Fruit... #DebutNovel #MurderMystery #IndieAuthor #Whodunit

No matter how old you get, or how many pupils you work with, getting a card like this will never lose its impact.

Quick reminder to my lovely ARC reviewers. As today is release day, Amazon should now allow you to post your reviews there. Thanks so much for your amazing support! I do hope you'll read for me again. 😊

I don't do engagement bait. I don't do AI images. I don't post numbers. I definitely don't do pity marketing. But one thing I do do is write books. Books that are particularly entertaining to people like you. If you look for them, you will find them, read them and enjoy them.

"It was simple, to the point, hilarious, and clever." "Charmingly odd characters that continue to interest and amuse throughout." "I love a good murder mystery, and this one delivered, with an extra twist of humour throughout that made it a really unique read." Got your copy yet?

Paperbacks of both Lance Pomegranate books are now available direct from the printer (UK and US only). For eBooks and other countries, search your preferred online bookseller. aneurysmcupcake.com/paperbackpurchase.htm (Paperbacks) mybook.to/WeaponFruit (eBook)

The order page for both books from Aneurysm Cupcake will be deactivated tonight. A new page will be in place on Monday (release day for Any Body Can Murder), but there will be no more author signatures or free shipping. Other sites unaffected of course. Today's your last chance!

The 3rd of July is the last day for direct orders from Aneurysm Cupcake. When they resume on Monday 7th, orders will be shipped directly from Lightning Source - I will not be able to sign them!

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to order a signed paperback of either book from The Weapon and the Fruit series (witty British whodunnits). Free UK shipping also ends after tomorrow. Any Body Can Murder is out this coming Monday. From then, direct orders come straight from the printer.

You know what they say about not making your dogs do anything you wouldn't do yourself on a hot day? Well trust me, it's fine. Dogs don't weigh as much as us and their skin is even better equipped for hot pavement than ours. Don't leave them in the car though!

Only one week left to order signed copies, and the copies I have available are down to single figures. Offer ends on the 3rd of July. FREE UK Shipping still available until then. ⏳✍🏻📚📬 Only lovers of murder mysteries and British humour need apply. Being a bit unusual helps.

Dammit, Jim. I'm a cat not a babysitter!

Now available for pre-order, releasing on August 23rd. Midnight, the Stars, and You: Dottie Manderson mysteries book 8 #cozymysteries #1930s #Kindle www.amazon.com/dp/B0F9PWCRVK

Ready to go!

It's a beautiful day to go to a craft fair and pick up some new books.

Quirky, unexpected and entirely entertaining, I really enjoyed this book! Read my full review below #Booksky @lebendon.com bookaholicbex.wordpress.com/2025/06/18/a...

Have you received any dodgy looking emails lately? What if one was a bit more interesting than a typical advance fee scam and in fact was a prelude to a murder plot? And what if you got to read the entire plot from the comfort of your own home or a beach? Pre-order and you can!

This Saturday I will be signing and selling paperbacks in Ware, where you can get your hands on all sorts of handmade bits and pieces, including cakes and jewellery, and decorations for your front garden.

Three weeks until launch. That's enough time to read the first book if you haven't yet (though the two stand alone and do not spoil each other). Two amusing British mysteries, ideal for the beach. Personalised signed copies of each can be ordered until the 3rd of July.

This sounds like such a clever twist on the classic whodunit! Pre-ordering now. 👣🔍 #MysteryLovers

I'm utterly speechless at how well understood the book was in this review. I'll have to stop promoting book two for a moment, so I can remind myself that book one is also something to be very proud of. Thank you so much Aimee! 😍 www.whataimeereads.net/detective-cr... (by @whataimeereads.bsky.social)

Please find my #review below for the wonderful #anybodycanmurder thank you SO much to @lebenton.bsky.social for sending me a physical copy to read. #bookrecommendation #book #bookreview

The Weapon and the Fruit: Any Body Can Murder, a witty British mystery, follows a serial killer posing as an email scammer fond of Agatha Christie, baiting a barefoot Aussie P.I. with an ABC-inspired scheme. Pre-order from aneurysmcupcake.com or your preferred online seller.

Thank you @bookscovered.bsky.social for this lovely review! 😊 bookscoveredhb.wordpress.com/2025/06/06/t...

Billionaires ke paas already sab kuchh hai. Ab, aapka time aageya. Billionaires already have everything. Now, your time has come.

Time to see what all the fuss is about. Based on a recommendation from the same person who recommended one of my favourite books ever. So no pressure! 😁

Reviews for The Weapon and the Fruit: Any Body Can Murder are already coming in. You can pre-order your copy up until the 3rd of July online in the usual places, or directly from Aneurysm Cupcake with a personalised signature, a couple of bookmarks and free UK shipping.

I am absolutely over the moon with this review 😁. ARC signup is now closed but you can pre-order your own copy from the Aneurysm Cupcake website, or an online bookseller of your choice. Offer of author signature, free bookmarks and free UK shipping ends on the 3rd of July!

Very much enjoying Any Body Can Murder!

If you're someone who hates wearing shoes, perhaps you sometimes think about choosing not to, or wish you could. Maybe you think it's not realistic; that society wouldn't always let you go barefoot. But what if it just takes a bit of determination? You'd enjoy these books.

You don't suppose this could be the explanation for the apparent random bold words in Three Star Charlie's book, do you?

Ready for Folk and Bespoke in Dunmow today. We open in half an hour...

Another very positive review over on Instagram today. For all its flaws, (though which platform doesn't have flaws in abundance?) Insta is definitely the most conducive to finding friendly happy readers and reviewers. If you'd like a FREE ARC, signups close in one week!

Big thanks to @lebendon.com for my exciting book post today - can't wait to read this one! #BookSky

Achievement Unlocked: Use an almost exclusively Shakespearan word in Scrabble.

My debut novel has just met its baby brother. Strictly these aren't available until the 7th July, but there might be workarounds for anyone especially keen to get in early.

I heard there was a secret ooze That turned 4 turtles into dudes Disguised and craving pizza, they're among ya But if the Shredder does attack These turtle boys won't cut him slack With weapons drawn, they'll scream a COWABUNGA

I'll be signing and selling here. If you're in Essex come and say hi on Sunday 25th May, at Foakes Hall, Dunmow. Visit the Folk and Bespoke site for more info. It's an independent craft fair. A whole array of indie businesses, much more than just authors and their books!
