From whose viewpoint are you telling the story? Is it single viewpoint or multiple viewpoint? Is it male or female or a mixture of both? Beware the latter though and having too many viewpoints because that will not only muddle the story and slow it down but it will also confuse you, and more importantly the…

Time frames in novels, and particularly when writing a series, as I do with the DI Andy Horton novels, are a tricky thing. There is ‘real time’ and there is ‘fictional time’.

“Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.”

With the last truth I discussed how much detail to put into a…

I'm often asked how I go about planning a novel.When starting a fresh crime novel (as I am now, having recently finished writing the ninth in the DI Andy Horton series) I have the basic idea in mind. I will start to flesh this out using spider grams and time lines to work up the basic plot lines and character outlines, working in pencil on recycled pieces of A4 paper.
Often I will create some characters who won’t appear in the novel at all because by the time I start to write the…

We talked about the DI Andy Horton crime series including the latest Death Lies Beneath which will be published in the UK in July and in…

The second Dead Detective Mystery, DEAD FOR THE MONEY, comes out on Friday, and the publicist for LL-Publishing has arranged a blog tour for me beginning in May. (This in itself is cool, because I've always had to arrange my own before.) In most of the posts, I'll be letting Seamus, Dead Detective, explain his view of things. I'll keep you apprised of the schedule as it develops.
So what is it like to be dead? There are so many possible answers that the mind boggles. Some say death is…

Death investigation is the most important aspect of a medical examiner, coroner, or death investigator’s basic professional duty.
