Hi Iain,
glad you liked LOST or DROWNING MAN as it's called in some territories (confusing and irritating as this is). I came across some brilliant books in doing the research, including UNDERGROUND LONDON by Stephen Smith, LONDON UNDER LONDON by Richard Trench and Ellis Hillman and THE LOST RIVERS OF LONDON by Nicholas Barton. It's a fascinating subject (albeit smelly).

Hey, Iain, nice to meet you! Just been blogging about Bullet - the editor used to live just around the corner. Now I find another inkie at the seaside! Must be something in the air.
Hi Laura. Death of Sweet Mister is one of my favourite crime novels. I've got Winter's Bone here now, and am saving it for the right moment. Am I the only one who does this with novels that I am really looking forward to reading?
I’ve had over thirty short stories published in some interesting places. My short crime fiction has appeared in publications including Ellery Queen's, Alfred Hitchcock's, Hardluck, Plots with Guns and Shred of Evidence. My story A WALK IN THE PARK is in the current edition of Hitchcock's (as of Nov 08).
I was shortlisted for the 2006 Crime Writers’ Association Debut Dagger for my then novel-in-progress, ONE OF US, and am now working on my next novel.
Donna Tartt, Daniel Woodrell, Rupert Thomson, Hunter Thompson, Haruki Murakami, Ray Carver, Richard Ford, Peter Temple, George Pelecanos, Jim Thompson, Martin Cruz Smith, James Ellroy, Robert Aickman, James Ellroy, Jeff Vandermeer, Mikhail Bulgakov

Best of luck with the writing - the shorts are great.
The waiting can make you crazy. So I just keep writing.
I admire short story writers. I love to read them, I just can't write them.
