Live today: Caster & Fleet book 5 – The Case of the Fateful Legacy

I've watched the preorders drop into my Amazon sales graph, I've downloaded and checked the book sample aaaaaaand... Caster & Fleet book 5 is here! This one was a little bit of a departure for Paula Harmon and I, since Paula fancied writing a country-house mystery. However, our betas all approved of the result, and …

Run out of books? Don’t despair – it’s the Mystery & Thriller Book Fair!

I don't know about you, but all of a sudden it's pretending to be summer here: we went to the beach today (writing this to post on Saturday morning) and it was suncream weather! Every so often I take part in one of these online book fairs, and I always find something new - a …

My first self-pubbed book launched on 1 April 2016 (I picked that date for a reason, honest!), and hey, here I still am. I published a post for my …

Watch out! A cornucopia of Sherlockery is imminent!

A while ago I had a lovely surprise in the form of an invitation from noted Sherlockian David Marcum to write a story for the MX New Sherlock Holmes anthologies.

Box set Friday – and it’s launch day for The Sherlock & Jack Chronicles!

Well, if there's an R in the month I figure I should probably release something 😉 .  Seriously, though, I've been wanting to put together the three books from the Sherlock & Jack series pretty much since I finished the draft of A Phoenix Rises last summer, so here it is!
