"The Fires of London"
My new novel, “The Fires of London” is out today. I wrote at length about writing it at Sleuthsayers September 3: http://www.sleuthsayers.org/
After a blackout encounter in Hyde Park with a brutal older man, Francis, an irrepressibly gay, alcoholic, masochistic painter, begins to be haunted by a police inspector. Does the man Francis refers to as “my own personal copper” suspect the illicit roulette game that Francis is running with the help of his old nanny and his lover of the moment?
Maybe, but when Damien Hiller, a rent boy Francis knows, is brutally murdered, he learns that “his” Inspector Mordren is with the homicide division. When the painter later tumbles over the corpse of one of the all important RAF pilots near a favorite club, he winds up forced to become a police snitch to keep himself and his beloved old nanny from a gambling prosecution.
Francis’s work as an Air Raid Warden is a distraction from both his mini-casino and his legal troubles, but as the Blitz intensifies, he finds himself in a cat and mouse game across shattered London.

Old Trees
The lovely thing about mature trees is that they create lots of shade. The bad thing is that in the end they are old trees and old trees die.
We recently lost a beautiful old white ash after one part of it split off and the remaining side was too rotten to support the other arm of the tree.
Well, when you have tree cutters, paint them.
