Issue #15 (Author Q&As: Bonnie Burke-Patel and Caroline Crampton)
Thanks for checking in. It’s been a hectic month without too much to show for it yet—just a lot of works in progress that will hopefully bear fruit in the not-too-distant future. All the same, I’ve got a very full newsletter for you this time around with not one but TWO exclusive Author Q&As. Read […]
Issue #14 (Author Q&A: Orlando Murrin)
Thank you for checking in! Phew, May has been a busy month. I’ve been trying to keep the first half of 2025 relatively clear for writing, so it’s quite a shock to the system finding myself with a full events diary all of a sudden. But I’ve had such a wonderful time and met so […]
Issue #13 (Author Q&A: Mark Ellis)
Thank you for checking in. I wanted to start things off with a tribute to a truly great mystery author who sadly passed away in April 2025: the one and only Peter Lovesey. Peter was a true role model to me. He was a gentleman of unparalleled generosity who enjoyed a long and highly successful career […]
Issue #12 (Author Q&A: Gigi Pandian)
First things first: today’s the day! The UK paperback of my novel Cabaret Macabre is OUT NOW. I really like this book—it’s a locked-room mystery retelling of The Revenger’s Tragedy, and it’s had some of the best reviews of anything I’ve written, so make sure to give it a go! And if you’ve already read it, I’d really […]
Issue #11 (Author Q&A: Victoria Dowd)

Issue #10 (Author Q&A: Matthew Booth)
And a (belated) Happy New Year. I’ve been promising myself 2025 will be a quieter year than 2024—we’ll see how that goes! I’ve already started booking events and my calendar is beginning to look full… Read Online
Issue #9 (Author Q&A: Janice Hallett)
As always, thanks for checking in. This is going to be my last newsletter for the year, so let me take this opportunity to wish you a peaceful Christmas and a very happy 2025! And don’t forget to buy your loved ones books (preferably signed)! Read Online
Issue #8 (Author Q&A: Paul Halter)
As always, thanks for checking in. I’ve got a bit of a locked-room mystery special for you this time, starting with a “deep dive” into the work of one of the genre’s greatest exponents (and a major inspiration to me personally), Paul Halter. Read Online
Issue #7
I know I usually only send out newsletters once a month, but this October there’s just been too much going on to fit into one missive! I promise not to make a habit of it though, and next month it’ll be back to one email as usual. Read Online
Issue #6 (Author Q&A: Martine Bailey)
As always, thanks for checking in. I’m writing this in a Costa Coffee in Chichester, overlooking the loveliness of the cathedral. A couple of doors away is the local branch of Waterstones where I’ve just signed several Spector books. Read Online
