Went to a fabulous exhibition of Paul Kidby's artwork for Terry Pratchett's books at our local museum. Look out for it - it's touring!

Mark Billingham has desctibed me as "the greatest expert I know when it comes to poisons". Very flattering and a lot to live up to, but why not check out my collection of short stories A Pocketful of Poisons! www.amazon.co.uk/Pocketful-Po...

14.02.2025 11:22 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Really sorry to delay in replying - I didn't see the message. The book can be read as a standalone but it may be best to start with Fatal Trade which introduces the main police characters. Either way, I hope you enjoy the book!
13.02.2025 15:19 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I'm being interviewed on BBC Upload and reading the intro to my novel Fatal Image. You can use BBC Sounds wherever you are and at any time.
