Thanks for the kind words on 'Justice For All' Harding. It's available as a pre-order on bookstore.co.uk (and Amazon.co.uk, etc), but it's not released in the UK until August 08. It is however currently out in Australia and New Zealand, and you can order it at via this link:
Hi Harding
As long as you're obsessive about writing (and not, say, your ex-girlfriend), then all those other characteristics may make you a better crime writer.
For me, writing about the things I cannot control helps me process the fear, frustration, and anguish, and therefore, helps keep me sane. (or so I like to think)
Good wishes for your writing endeavors.

If you ever get a chance to read it I'd love to know what you think.
Cheers,
