About Me:: I am a freelance writer and crime novelist (the Riley Gavin/Frank Palmer series) and spend my time doing what most writers do... which is surprisingly little - on the surface, at least. You never know what we're thinking about, though...

Books And Authors I Like:: Any and all crime/thrillers - but especially Robert Crais, Harlan Coben, John Sandford, Nick Stone, Linwood Barclay, Martin Cruz Smith

Movies And TV Shows I Like:: Right now, The Wire... although much of what I hear goes by in a jumble. I think it's that Baltimore accent. I gather the only way to deal with this is by serious application of bum to seat in front of the tv.

At 2:58am on June 11, 2009, Adrian Magson said…: I read your first book when it first came out, because you very kindly sent me a copy after holding a competition of some kind. Damned if I can remember what it was, though, but I think it was something like a first line question (?) Anyway, I enjoyed the book and we corresponded briefly before you went off and became famous... or something. Nice to hear from you again, anyway.

I appreciate that. I've been reading your wise words again in WM and I did start Finders, Weepers (twice) only yo be interrupted by screaming kids! I'll get to it now they're back at school.
I also have a proposition for you, but best done via email. Mine's next to Matt's on the guidelines to the TKnC site.

Thanks for the enthusiasm!
