Start them young! Here's grandchild number four (grandson number two), getting sucked into the twists, turns, and horrible revelations of my psychological thriller novel, SHADOWLOCKED.

Makes this granddad immensely proud!

I very rarely post pictures of a) me holding a book, b) me smiling, or c) me smiling whilst holding a book, but I thought I'd make an exception for this one now that I have a finished copy in my hands.

Very, very happy to be a part of SHADOW LAB VOLUME II alongside
Gemma Amor, Katharyn Blair, Adam Godfrey, Faith Merino, Nic Hendrickson, Ari Marmell, Diana Olney, Noah Pohl and Kylee Shimomura.

Huge thanks to Brendan Deneen and all at Blackstone Publishing.

This is a fantastic collection. Grab a copy and let me know your thoughts!

As you may know, KEMBERTON is a new novel that's exclusively available to members of my mailing list (link below).

I finished writing this poor little guy's story yesterday, and I can now confirm a couple of things:

1. more chapters will be added next week, so make sure you're signed up
2. the final chapters will be posted in the following newsletter (due 1st week of November)
3. at that stage, I'll also be able to let you know what's next for our poor little hero.

I hope you've enjoyed the story. I've really enjoyed the experience of writing and posting in relatively quick succession. Thanks to everyone who's read along and provided feedback.

29 years ago, I had hair. More importantly, 29 years ago today, my first novel, STRAIGHT TO YOU, was published.

Recently I've been digitising thousands of photographs belonging to my late mum and dad, and in the process I found the three shots I've posted here. First, a picture of me with hair (just to prove it). Second, my lovely mum - in a 'natural' pose so clearly staged by my dad - proudly looking at the book in the window of a long-gone bookstore in Harborne, Birmingham. Third, a close-up of that window display, with my book competing for space alongside Umberto Eco and Colin Dexter.

29 years that feels like 29 minutes.

Hoping to have plenty to post about this week, but I can't quite get to my desk. If you're waiting for something from me, please blame all and any delays on (left to right) Jasper, Milo, and Sydney.
