Roz Watkins is the author of the DI Meg Dalton crime series, which is set in the Peak District where she lives with her partner and a menagerie of demanding animals.

Her first book, THE DEVIL'S DICE, was shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger Award, and has been optioned by ITV Studios.

Roz originally studied engineering and natural sciences at Cambridge, before studying patent law. She was a partner in a firm of patent attorneys in Derby, but this has absolutely nothing to do with there being a dead one in her first book.

In her spare time, Roz clicker-trains her dog and horse, and likes to walk in the Peak District, scouting out murder locations.

I can get obsessed with word-count, and feel I haven't achieved anything if I've written no words in a day. But actually I've realised that thinking is just as important as writing. So if I feel blocked, I'll maybe walk the dog or go and shovel a bit of horse manure. It works for me :) If I get blocked after the first-draft stage, I read writing-craft books - they always give me ideas for how to move forward.

“Most of the villages in this area were picture-perfect tourist honeypots of stone cottages and tea rooms. But just a few miles away you'd come upon a remote  settlement full of rusting machinery, bags of cement, feral collies, and farmers who'd stare blankly at you as if they'd never previously encountered someone from outside Derbyshire.”
Roz Watkins, The Devil’s Dice

“I let out a slightly crazy laugh. 'Why not?' I was selfish and dishonest, and now a girl could be in danger. Why shouldn't I beat myself up? I put my own family first. all my supposed morals and values - it was all for nothing when it really came to it.”
Roz Watkins, The Devil’s Dice

“How charming when a husband's admiration for his wife could survive the discovery that she was homicidal.”
Roz Watkins, The Devil’s Dice
