    I learned today that my DCI Ryan series is second only to Jack Reacher as the bestselling book series *of all time* on Amazon and I’m blown away by the support from my readers, my family and friends, booksellers, libraries, @AmazonKDP @WFHowes @audibleuk @UA_Books bloggers…

    Overheard in the pretentious reading corner of Twitter: “Yah, yah, I hate those ‘easy reading’ novels; they add nothing to the body of literature as a whole”. This, from somebody who has never written a single book; never thought about what reading means to people other than

    Terribly sad to hear of the loss of this iconic, beautiful tree, which was the setting for my second book and a source of peace and inspiration to many. If this was an act of vandalism, I can only think that the person responsible is deeply unwell. It’s madness.

    Soppy post incoming, so look away if easily nauseated. Occasionally, somebody will remark that my character, DCI Ryan, is too idealised; they say nobody could ever be that nice, and that I’ve written a superhero. Perhaps I have, but the inspiration is drawn from reality. Let me

    Just a small request- please stop using the word “churn” in a pejorative way. If an author like myself is able to write more than one book per year, it doesn’t mean that we’re “churning” them out. Sometimes, it means we love our work and happen to write swiftly. Ta!
