Video of the week, writing a crime novel, revisions and first drafts

This video was shot at a talk I gave to Emsworth U3. I'm talking
about how many revisions I do on my crime novels set on the south coast
of England. Forgive the shakiness of the camera but despite that I hope
you get the gist and enjoy watching it.  You can see more videos on my You Tube Channel.

A great year for entertaining audiences with tales of murder, mystery and mayhem

I have met some truly fabulous people throughout the year at the many talks I have given around the country. Thanks to all the organizers and
to everyone who came. I'm looking forward to meeting many more DI Andy Horton and Art Marvik fans and introducing my novels and talking about how I write to lots of you in 2016.



My thanks also to Julian Clegg and his team on BBC Radio Solent for the great breakfast radio interviews and to Sam Fraser at BBC Radio Solent. Also to Chrissie Pollard on That's Solent TV for our sofa chats.
