DIVERSITY PROJECT LAUNCH! Over the past 9 months, Ive headed up a project examining issues such as cultural appropriation in literature and stereotyping, the aim being to provide authors with advice in this area. My starting point is that all authors should be allowed to write as they wish. View the videos here and find out more here.
COMPETITION UPDATE! Please note that the competition in the beginning of The Dying Day (in the form of a riddle) ended at the end of September 2021. Two winners were announced in October.

‘The Da Vinci Code meets post-Independence India. I’d be surprised if I read a better book this year.’ ~ M. W. Craven, winner of the Crime Writers Association Gold Dagger.
‘This is a crime novel for everyone; for those who love traditional mysteries there are clues, codes and ciphers, but it also had a harder edge and a post-war darkness. Brilliant.‘ ~ Ann Cleeves, creator of the Vera and Shetland series
