On the 15th October 2021, it'll be exactly five years since the day I first published The '86 Fix. I can't quite believe how quickly those five years have flown, or how my career has unfolded since that day, but here we are … [Read more...]

The End of a Denim-Clad Era
In one of my posts earlier this year, I mentioned my plan for a new series of novels featuring Clement. The idea was to set these stories in the early '70s, and they would revolve around Clement's life back in the day. And, for those stories to be truly authentic, they would need … [Read more...]
Spring is Here, Time For an Update

One Step Back, One Step Forward
As my writing career has developed, I've got into the habit of pausing halfway through each project and taking stock. As part of that process, I download what I've written to my Kindle and read it back as if I'd just bought it on Amazon - it's a different experience from reading … [Read more...]
An Invite to The Broadhall Social Club
Launched in 2019, The Broadhall Social Club is a Facebook group for the more dedicated readers of my books. As my readership grows, it's pretty hard to stay on top of social media so the idea was to have a smaller group where members can chat about Clement, Mungo, et al, plus … [Read more...]
