Well, apologies for that unscheduled break in transmission. There are Reasons, which I’m not going to bore you with quite yet – although it’s quite possible that I will choose to bore you with them at some point in the future. However, in the immortal words of Take That, I am now Back For Good. […]
As I’ve already mentioned, A QUESTION OF TRUST, Book Two in the Mathematical Mystery series, is coming out in April. Obviously I’m excited about this, because the thrill of getting a book published never wears off. But I’m particularly excited because, as the second book in a series, it gets a cover that matches the […]
Shortly before the Christmas break, I delivered the manuscript of A QUESTION OF TRUST, otherwise known as Book Two in the Mathematical Mysteries Series, to my editor at Farrago. Put like that, it doesn’t sound terribly scary. However, what you need to know is that the seventy-odd thousand words in that manuscript hadn’t previously been […]
Well, that was an interesting year, no question about it. I began 2018 fully expecting the sole highlight to be the publication of my second book of short stories, DIP FLASH.

OK, this is where the scary stuff starts. THE TRUTH ABOUT ARCHIE AND PYE was uploaded to NetGalley today. There’s still a week and a bit to go before the official publication next Thursday, but members of NetGalley are now able to request advance copies for reviewing. I haven’t been through this process before, so […]
Obviously – I mean OBVIOUSLY – you should never judge a book by its cover, but I’m prepared to make an exception here. You are quite welcome – no, you’re positively ENCOURAGED – to judge THE TRUTH ABOUT ARCHIE AND PYE by its cover, because the cover (by Mark Swan, aka Kid Ethic) is ABSOLUTELY […]
Here we go, then. Watch and wonder. There’s a website too. It’s coming, folks. It’s coming.
I am in the middle of writing my third novel, the sequel to THE TRUTH ABOUT ARCHIE AND PYE. OK, let’s be honest, I’m about a third of the way into it, and – after a MASSIVE wobble at the start of this week – I think it’s going pretty well. However – and this […]
