Meanwhile…

If you’d like to look the author in the eye and maybe get a signed copy, come to one of the events where I’ll be talking about and/or selling the books (see News & Events page).

I would love to know what you think of my stories - are they plausible? any requests? do you have ideas you’d like to see in a new story? Please get in touch.

Even if you have reservations after reading my work, to help other readers, please review it on Goodreads and/or Amazon.

What’s next?

Another novel featuring Mick and friends is hoping to see the light of day during 2026-27, working title The Tufton Street Massacre. It will of course be purely fictional and not at all seditious.

And a novella exploring aspects of policing will probably be out before the novel, working title Look Out: a tale of intimate deceit.

Keep up to date with these and more on the News & Events page.
