The Cover of MORTEDANT'S PERIL. Two towers flank a column of fire which crows are flying through. Journey with the irascible Irody through the byzantine city of Elbay while he tries to unravel a murder before someone stretches his neck with a hangman's noose.
GOOD NEWS!
Waterstones are also offering 25% off my new book MORTEDANT'S PERIL with the code FEB26. I've seen a few reviews I can't talk about yet and it all looks pretty good so far.' Only one way to know, right? AND save money. BARGAIN.

I've just had my head baffled by The Elsewhere Express? Would you care to be baffled? In a nice way, it's very beautifully written
