Coming soon… #books
Not quite a new book, but definitely the next best thing – I’m delighted that DP Books, the UK arm of a large German digital publisher, will be re-releasing three of my older suspense novels over the next few weeks. First up is The Attic Room, originally published in 2015. The pre-order is running already,…

Spooky old house revisited…
Back in the nineties, I spent a week with a friend who had just moved to Biddenham. It’s a good area for a visit from Switzerland – Bedford just a hop down the road, and Cambridge and London less than an hour away. I made the most of my UK shopping and culture week. One…

An old book and some new/old friends…
I was in England over the weekend – a flying visit from Zürich Airport to London Luton, and it was my first-ever Easy Jet flight. I was pleasantly surprised – my knees didn’t touch the seat in front, there was an empty place beside me both ways, and we took off and landed punctually. From…

2016 – the best of times and the worst of times… (a minimalist’s version)
The death of David Bowie on January 10th was a shock to many people, including me, and 2016 did seem to provide us with more than usual ‘famous deaths’. It’s been a big year in politics, too. But here’s my personal take on the past 12 months: Best book moment: Holding Chosen Child for the…

Prague: John Lennon, the upside down horse, and Frank Kafka…

Chosen Child – cover reveal
One of the best things about self-publishing is, you get to choose your own cover image. Not that I’m unhappy about my publisher’s choice for my first two books; in fact, until recently, the cover of The Paradise Trees was my favourite. As far as cover images go, self-publishers have two options – a ready-made…

2015 – The best of times and the worst of times… (a mimimalist’s version)
This time tomorrow, 2015 will be a thing of the past and we’ll all be watching the New Year’s Concert from Vienna. It’s been a year of ups and downs… Best moment: Holding The Attic Room for the first time. Second and third best moments: Holding the audio version of The Cold Cold Sea and…

Switzerland… The Rhine Falls
It’s a murky autumn day here in N.E. Switzerland – the leaves are falling and we can see Lake Constance from the flat again. Ours is the second largest lake in the country, vaguely fish-shaped, with Germany along the northern bank, Switzerland to the south, and Austria in the east. The Rhine flows into the…

Sun, sand and… sculptures!
It’s been an amazing summer here in the top right corner of Switzerland (once we got past June…) Here on our glorious lake, we’re able to enjoy all the summer advantages of this very international – I can see both Germany and Austria from my flat – region. Here’s a two-minute video showing the area…
