  • New Book Coming…

    Having been a writer, tutor and editor for some years now, I thought it was about time I wrote a non-fiction book and shared some of the writing lessons I’ve learned. I love helping writers achieve their dreams in the work I already do so I wanted my new book to do the same. It’s…

  • Book Review: Thirteen By Steve Cavanagh

    I’ve read a lot of crime fiction over the years and I always love it when I come across a book that offers something a little bit different. And Steve Cavanagh’s Thirteen certainly gave me what I was looking for. The blurb says: The murder trail of the century is here. A ruthless prosecutor A…
