2013 is chugging along quickly, and the joys of the publication of my first book, Fallen Idols, back in 2007, seems like a distant memory. Five more books followed, and now there is the excitement of my first hardback publication, Next To Die, published by Sphere in September 2013.

One of the great pleasures in writing is receiving messages from people who have read and enjoyed the books, particularly when they live overseas. I write at the same desk that I have always used, with the same drizzly view, and so to read messages from far-flung hot places is always fun. If you live in somewhere not so hot, then drop me a line anyway. It will be good to hear from you.

Otherwise, I hope you enjoy browsing the website, and if you have any queries or messages, please drop me a line by going to the Contacts page.
