Kiwi author holed up in the Scottish Highlands, where the weather's interesting, but the plots are twisty. Surviving on whisky, woolly socks, and a steady diet of murder. Debut novel The Orchid Mystery blooming with Coffeetown Press late 2025.

Cambridge, 1977. A rare orchid, left beside the body of a murdered professor, draws DCI Rievaulx and DC Carter into a deadly web of academic ambition, buried secrets, and a clandestine society where every clue threatens to unravel the quiet dignity of the university’s ancient foundations.

People often ask why I set my mystery in Cambridge, and in 1977. Honestly, modern forensics can kill the suspense. Cambridge in ’77 has the perfect atmosphere for a classic, character-driven whodunit. #mysterynovel #mysterywtiter #goldenagemystery
