Well, 2025 was a cracking year with four books out -The Surrogate, Facing Evil, Shallow Graves and The Psychopath – plus an audio of The Surrogate. A really fulfilling year.
2026 is shaping up even better – another four books out, starting with The Betrayal in February, The Mother in March and The Stepmother in, probably, May and one more; not sure what that will be yet. Most likely, Bags Of Bones or maybe The Man Upstairs.
I’m also, long story, now editing and writing micro-drama scripts – hot new market! I cannot say much more than than at present as I have signed a NDA. But I expect to have news, and the first film out, in 2027. Until then, ssshhh.
Lots more to come. I’m now into my early 60’s but, like most novelists, I’ll just keep going for as long as I am enjoying it. P. D. James’ last novel, Death Comes To Pemberley, came out when she was in her early 90’s so I have a good way to go yet hopefully.
