About this author
Where have you been, I hear you cry. Well, if I hadn't managed to completely mess up this blog, you would have known I was off on a week's holiday to North Yorkshire. For some reason - and I have no idea what that reason is - my blog hasn't posted properly and I've also managed to mess up my comments notifications. …

| I read this book months ago, realised I'd forgotten to rate it, and decided to read the first few pages to refresh my memory. Result? I had to read the book again and, yes, it stands up wonderfully well to a second reading. Risky Business has everyth...more | |

Thank you Shirley. Our library is well...pretty hopeless. I checked amazon.com for 'Into The Shadows', and it is currently out of stock. I will definitely buy a copy once it is available again.I will download an ebook later this month of 'Presumed Dead'.
Thanks again, Stuart :)
Goodness, you're the 3rd person to ask me that today. Um, I write a mystery series featuring a female forensic psychologist and a male DCI. The first in that series is INTO THE SHADOWS. I've just started a new series featuring a male PI (all set in Lancashire, UK) which will be out in e-format on 26th of this month, PRESUMED DEAD. If you'd really like to try one, I'd suggest looking in your library for INTO THE SHADOWS.
Thanks!
Shirley :)
Hi Shirley,Wow! You have many titles to choose from, I am spoilt for choice. Which would you recommend I read first?
Looking forward to your reply.
Stuart :)
Hi Stuart.Thanks for the friendship.
The next time I'm reading non-fiction, I may have to try Beyond my Control. It sounds interesting - and frightening!
All the best to you too from a dull, grey, wet UK. (And it's supposed to be summer...:))
Shirley
I'll be giving away a copy of Presumed Dead on my blog - details will appear Monday or Tuesday - if you're interested...
All the best,
Shirley
