Join GB Ralph on the next Livestream

G B Ralph, Monday 9th December 2024, 8pm GMT

G B Ralph is a Kiwi author of cosy mysteries and romantic comedies. His writing features chaotic yet lovable characters getting into trouble, an astonishing amount of crime, and handsome men falling for each other.

He’s currently documenting the increasingly implausible series of murders sweeping an enchanting small New Zealand town in The Milverton Mysteries, once described as “Agatha Christie, but make it gay.”

I hope you can join us live! It’s the last livestream of the year, and things might get festive… which basically means I might wear a Santa hat. Don’t get too excited. About that. Definitely get excited about meeting GB Ralph!!
