My first event of 2026 and it's at a lovely community library run by volunteers. If you're anywhere near Rhoose on Friday 20th February at 7pm, please come along and say hello. I'll be talking about Eddie Giral and the Occupation series – there will be wine and nibbles! Tickets from Rhoose Library.

After PLR day, just one more example of how wonderful libraries are. Take a look at this lovely display of my Eddie Giral books in Rhoose Community Library for my event there next month. Thank you to the brilliant volunteer librarians.

Happy PLR day! Huge thank you to everyone who has borrowed my books in their local public library, and to all the wonderful libraries and librarians who work so hard. Every time a reader borrows a book from a library, the author gets a few pence and a lovely warm glow – and they all add up!

One of the most exciting but nerve-racking moments is when you see the cover for your next book for the first time. And the one for the next Eddie Giral book is a stunner!!!πŸ˜πŸ“š A lovely early Christmas present! All will be revealed in the new year...

Very happy to have taken part in this year's @historia-hwa.bsky.social Christmas Book feature with a couple of recommendations for Christmas reading. I've chosen two scorchers by @alishawkinsauthor.bsky.social and @gjwilliams92.bsky.social which I think you'll love.

The Hanging Man Investigation is out now. Atkins and Palmer book 2, available in paperback and ebook.

And if you've read the Locked Trilogy, or Unlocked, you might even see a familiar face or two.
