Christopher Wilson’s new book contract
An old friend and colleague Christopher Wilson, a longtime chronicler on the Royal Family for London’s Daily Mail, is morphing into quite an author. Christopher, writing under the nom de plume TP Fielden, has enjoyed enormous success with his charming Miss Judy Dimont mystery series of books, including Resort to Murder, A Quarter Past Dead, and the Riviera Express. Now he has signed a new threebook contract to write a World War II series set at Buckingham Palace, a building he knows well. The principal character, Guy Harford, is a painter, an assistant private secretary to the monarch – and a spy. A superb writer, not to be missed, it is to be hoped the Hallmark TV Channel is taking note... Sightings: Veteran TV host Regis Philbin noshing at Pane e Vino...
