The new book, to be called No Holds Barred, is the second in my new series featuring ex-police dog handler Daniel Whelan and his German Shepherd Dog, Taz. I’m not going to tell you too much about it because I don’t want to spoil it for you, but suffice to say, if you liked No Going Back, you should enjoy this one, too.

I hope you like the new website, designed for me by Alison at LA Marketing and Design. I love it, and with advances in technology, it should be easier for me to update myself, so watch this space for a (more) regular blog and news of upcoming events such as “Bodies in the Bookshop” at Heffers in Cambridge on the 19th July, where I will be available to chat and sign books if you so desire.

Back in May I attended the Crimefest crime fiction convention in Bristol. Always a fun event and a chance to catch up with fellow authors, as well as fans from all over the world. Great to see Dolores Gordon Smith, who writes a post WW1 crime mystery series, and Rebecca Jenkins (pictured with me at the Saturday night Gala Dinner) who writes a crime series set in rural Regency England and featuring the dashing ex-soldier, F R Jarrett.

Anyway, must go now – editing to do and dogs to walk. Hope you’ll keep checking back to see what I’m up to, and your comments – hopefully polite and civil – are as always, welcomed.
