LJ Ross has long refused to play by other people's rules and when she didn't like the look of a publishing contract she struck out on her own. Over four million copies of her books have been sold to date and she's still going strong. She answers our listener questions on marketing, pricing, Kindle and she tells us why she's launching her own imprint and a prize for authors.

Louise Ross loved reading and storytelling as a child but she had her heart set on being a lawyer. She became a barrister and while she loved helping people -she started to feel it was time to do something else.  (In fact speaking of skies, it was when she realised her head was always down and she never looked up and appreciated a blue sky, she knew something had to change).  Her husband James planted a seed on a train journey which changed everything. That tiny seed led to Louise writing 27 books and selling  more than 10 million copies. She has her own publishing label (Dark Skies Publishing) and her work is also helping celebrate people living in the North East. Her books have been among the biggest sellers on Amazon and at one point 16 of them were in the top 50 in the charts. But Louise believes it has nothing to do with algorithms, large advertising budgets or any trends or secret formulas .  Louise believes we must all ask ourselves this one question and be completely honest with the answer... What is it that we really want to achieve?  (I'll let you listen to find out how this helped her so much.) Louise is humble, gracious and so generous with her thoughts. She has been a big inspiration to me for so long – but even if your next chapter isn't about writing, Louise's approach has helped her create a wonderful life for her and her family and she believes we're all able to do the same. https://ljrossauthor.com/ (and just in case you'd forgotten you can find me and my books at elliebarkerwrites.com x)

L J Ross is a self-published international bestselling author. Her books have sold over eight million copies and in 2022 overtook Harry Potter and Game of Thrones on the all-time Amazon bestsellers list. Louise started her working life as a lawyer before making the transition to author in 2015 with her first book Holy Island which knocked Girl on a Train off the top of the bestsellers list at the time. Louise has set the benchmark for self-publishing authors everywhere and yet when you do a Google Search with the first words "Is L J Ross...", the first search that comes up is "Is L J Ross Married"? Well, for those enquiring minds the answer is yes, in fact the 'J' in L J stands for her husband James, who is also Louise's own partner in her own imprint, Dark Skies Publishing.Louise's Book ChoicesMan's Search for Meaning by Victor FranklFeel the Fear and Do it Anyway by Susan JeffersThe Far Pavillions by M M Kaye.Trigger warning: The first book discussion features discussions of the holocaust and several upsetting details of events at concentration camps.

An addictive crime mystery audiobook perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Faith Martin, J.R. Ellis, LJ Ross, Miss Marple and Midsummer Murders! Lesley Cookman's best-selling series featuring amateur sleuth Libby Sarjeant is back for its second instalment. There is something not quite right about the death of her aunt...and psychic investigator Fran Castle is sure of it. The will is missing, and long-lost relatives are obstructing the case, both of which are suspicious on their own, even before the bodies start piling up.... Luckily, nothing is likely to stop Fran's sleuthing partner, Libby, from getting involved to help hunt down the murderer. As the murders multiply and the police take over, can the amateur sleuths keep on the trail?

First in a series of 20 murder mysteries featuring middle-aged-actress-come-investigator Libby Sarjeant. There's a baffling mystery in the village of Steeple Martin...but actress and amateur sleuth Libby Sarjeant is on the case! Libby Sarjeant, former actress and artist, loves life in the idyllic English countryside. She's busy with her friends preparing a play for the pretty new Oast House Theatre in Steeple Martin when there's suddenly news of a baffling mystery - the murder of a cast member. Written by Libby's friend Peter, the play is based on real events from his family's history, and it seems that these events still cast a long shadow in Steeple Martin. From the Pink Geranium restaurant to the Manor Farm, Libby risks causing a scene as she uncovers secrets hidden in the village. Can Libby, with best friend, Fran, and Sidney, the cat, in tow, find the culprit and get her show on the road? The first book in Lesley Cookman's best-selling series featuring amateur sleuth Libby Sarjeant, this cozy crime novel is perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands, Faith Martin, J.R. Ellis, LJ Ross, Miss Marple and Midsummer Murders.

A new year dawns over the sleepy coastal town of Heronsbourne and brings with it a brand-new case for amateur sleuth Libby Sarjeant. When a woman's body is found on the local golf course after an illicit New Year's party, news quickly spreads, and Libby finds herself being tracked down by locals desperate to share information about the victim, Jackie Stapleton. But things are never that simple in Libby's world. Whilst everyone had an opinion on Jackie, it seems nobody really knew much about her. Libby's chum DCI Connell is being more tight-lipped than usual, and even with her friend Fran Wolfe's help, discovering a motive for the killing is frustratingly difficult. Is the murder linked to some distinctly dodgy dealing, a dispute with the local golf club, or something far more sinister - a ghost from Libby's past? Gripping and compulsive, Murder After Midnight is the latest instalment in the much-loved Libby Sarjeant series by Lesley Cookman. Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, J. R. Ellis and LJ Ross.

'With fascinating characters and an intriguing plot, this is a real page turner' Katie Fforde Super-sleuth Libby Sarjeant is back with her most puzzling case yet . . . a mysterious death at the local cliffs. Colin Hardcastle has arranged for two men to meet and discuss the sale of a house. But when Nick Nash - the owner of the property - doesn't show, Colin cannot begin to imagine the events he has set in motion. Perplexed, Colin tells his friends in Steeple Martin, piquing the interest of Libby Sarjeant - and the Reverend Patti Pearson, who finds Nash's name strangely familiar . . . Despite her burgeoning reputation as a super-sleuth, Libby is somewhat loath to investigate what seems to be a tragic accident. But when two of Patti's parishioners ask for her help, Libby very quickly finds herself caught up in the mystery. Then Nash's body is found, and things take a darker turn. As the case unravels, biting deeper into the local community, Nash's shocking past is unearthed and it's up to Libby and her friend Fran Wolfe to help solve the case before it's too late... This is an addictive and unputdownable crime mystery novel perfect for fans of Faith Martin, J.R. Ellis and LJ Ross.
