It was a pleasure to work with Helen Donovan on Yet to Know, a novel The US Review of Books says “asks intriguing questions throughout.

Wear Your Home Like a Scar is a master class in how to write both short stories and noir. Not a word wasted, no subject too dark to tackle, and absolute unflinching acceptance of the fact that all too often there is no such thing as happily ever after. There isn’t a misfire in the bunch, but there were a few standouts for me.

It was an honor to work with Janet Roger on her novel Shamus Dust, which has garnered awards and acclaim, including winning the 2019 Beverly Hills Book Awards for Crime Fiction, and which has drawn comparisons to old-school, hard-boiled detective masters such as Raymond Chandler and Philip Kerr.
Shamus Dust finds expat American private investigator Newman in bleak, postwar London during the winter of 1947, where he is drawn into a Pandora’s box of murder and corruption that runs to the highest levels of the City.
