Worth A Shot: coming soon!
An early Christmas present for you!
The first Luke Sharpe File, Worth A Shot, will be released 13th December 2016. This is a little companion novella, running alongside I, Spy? but from Luke's point of view. After all, he can't just sit around waiting for Sophie to get into trouble: he's got a life of his own!
Luke Sharpe is a spy. And he's good at what he does. He's smart, he's brave, he's

Max Seventeen is on sale NOW!
Yes, Max is finally here! And to celebrate I thought I'd answer a few questions about it...
Is the glitch fixed?
Yes! If you buy Max now, you'll get a lovely properly formatted file. If you've already got the wrongly formatted file (you'll know when you see it) Amazon should be issuing an update soon. If you really can't wait, let me know (details below) and I'll sort you out.

Minor glitch
Hi everybody,
It's come to my attention that some devices are displaying formatting glitches in the Max Seventeen file. I literally only discovered this less than two hours after the file had gone live, when I was looking at it on my Paperwhite.
I had of course proofed and previewed the file in every way Amazon KDP allows, but somewhere along the way it seems to have become corrupted and the

What inspired you to write Max Seventeen?
Tom Hopper's amazing arms.
No, not really. Inspiration's a hard thing to pin down, but my major influences at the time were Black Sails and Mad Max: Fury Road. One is a drama about the Golden Age of Piracy that's full of sex and violence. The other is a

What's Max Seventeen about?
Good question.
It's about sex, violence and swearing, of course. It's also about finding your identity and creating your own destiny. It's about finding where you came from and figuring out where you want to go. It's about realising you're the sort of person who gets to fall in love.
It's about pirates. Those of you who live Firefly will probably know that Joss Whedon's space jockeys

It's bigger...it's better...it's blonder!
A reboot of the series you know and love...or maybe it’s all brand new to you? It’s certainly all new to Sophie, who’s just been hired by a top-secret government agency.
All she has on her side is sarcasm, blonde hair and a small cat called Tammy, but that’s not going to keep her from saving the day...once she’s figured
