What's Left Behind

I got the idea for this story after watching a real-life crime documentary about a murdered teenage girl. She set out for school one day walking through a wooded area and was never to return home again. Her body was discovered several days later, she’d been strangled. Her killer was never found, until years later, when the police discovered they still had her…

Watching You is now out!

Author Competitions: Are they worth it?

I've run several competitions over the past year or so offering free copies of my books both in e-format and as paperbacks, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth the time and effort.

In all that time, I think I've only had one 'thank you' from a winner. Now, don't get me wrong -- I don't expect anyone to be eternally grateful, but it would be nice to know… Continue

Inspector Lynley Mysteries

The BBC have recently started to repeat the excellent Inspector Lynley Mysteries, penned by the fabulous Elizabeth George. You can read last year's interview published in The Writer Magazine, here:

I was very surprised when I first discovered that Ms. George is an American. I would have sworn that the… Continue

Top Ten Pet Hates of a Grumpy Woman

Here are some of the things that really get up my nose!

10. People who once knew me but now stick their noses in the air and walk by as if they never did!

9. Shop assistants who prefer to talk to one another whilst ignoring the customer.

8. Repeated lateness. Why is someone else's time more important than my own?

7. Mobile phones. Okay, I have one but I'm not on it all day long! And why is it when I… Continue

At 6:49pm on March 26, 2008, len howlett said…: This may seem stranger to me even than to you, but somehow 'The Sopranos' passed completely across my screen without my observing one episode. I will go by a rental place and probably view it all. I just tend to mistrust a lot of made for tv shows until they are way past and someone says, 'What is the problem with you? This is exactly the kind of stuff you like.' I didn't watch 'Miami Vice' even though I lived in the city and had to work to avoid running into it constantly. Now, I own several seasons of it and watch it when I need a good shot of humor. So, yeah, since I like wiseguys, and am one myself of another sort, it is something I will get to soon. I'm doing a piece now that has a lot of the several varieties meeting head on, Middle Eastern and more traditional varieties meeting head on, with a couple of penny ante, hustler, poseurs caught in the middle and playing way over their heads. Hey, come to think of it, that may describe me. Has someone got a mirror handy? Thanks for the comment.

Your book covers are varied and engaging.

If you like Peter Robinson, I think you'll enjoy my books. I'm also a big fan of his.

I'm trying to do more promotions this year and hoping to get back to speaking. Was contacted by a college in NY so I may go. It will be the first time since my youngest son was killed three years ago as we spoke out together.

But I know he'd want me to continue our work.... Promotion yourself is hard though but can't afford to have anyone else do it for me, so guess I have to get down to it and try. Books won't sell themselves sitting in my computer room....good luck with your books.... Shirley

I totally agree with you about multi reading - I always have at least three books on the go.
Usually one crimie, one literary novel and one non fiction. Add to that a possible research book for the writing and maybe a book of poetry ...
My daughter is the same.
My husband and son however do one strictly at a time - maybe it's a gender thing.

At 6:14am on February 6, 2008, Rhys Bowen said…: My Constable Evans series comes to mind, with your last name. Welsh policeman in Snowdonia. I'd recommend Evan's Gate to begin with. That book was an Edgar nominee.

If you like your mysteries darker and meatier, then I'd recommend one of the Molly Murphy series--set in New York, 1902. The first is Murphy's Law and that sort of sets up everything. The latest hardcover is In Dublin's Fair City and the latest paperback in Oh Danny Boy.
However, if you enjoy a chuckle as well as a shiver with your mysteries then my Her Royal Spyness might be your cup of tea. It's about the British royal family in the 1930s.
