100 reviews
Thanks to everybody who had read a Dr Power book and reviewed or rated it. 100 feels like a solid number of opinions.

@hughgreenauthor now has 1500+ followers - I hope that the majority are living, breathing humans! I like to publish insights and photos of the research I do for the Dr Power novels. I try to be as accurate as possible about the medical world of the good doctor and to reflect the places and history of the decades the series is rooted in- the 1990s and 2000s.

66%
Statistics for all copies of Dr Power books in public libraries across the country state that at any one time 66% are out on loan.
Dr Power #5
Progress is definitely there. Chapter 11 is part way through. Locations in Spain are fully researched. Prologue and epilogue are both written. Some new ideas occur for the middle section set in England. The villain is shaping up nicely and he has distinct plans to finish off both Dr Power and Superintendent Lynch. Maybe I've said too much? @hughgreenauthor

Dr Power in the soup
Dr Power became a vegetarian in The Godo Shepherd. The reasoning behind this decisoon of his is detailed in the plot, but suffice to say food plays a large part in the books and some of the meals Power likes are photographed on Twitter - @hughgreenauthor
In an unpredicted turn of events Dr Power's Twitter fans have asked for the recipes for some of these meals. In order to oblige some of these will appear at hughgreene.com e.g.

Author's Twitter Feed
I finally found my way into the Twitterverse. Having resisted until now I am enjoying exploring the possibilities of reaching new readers and talking with them. I spent some of today explaining Dr Power's obsession with Classic cars, his taste in music and confirming or refuting soem of fan;s theories about the clues hidden in text and Paul Imrie's clever illustrations.

Fourth Dr Power Novel
After the Casebook (which is technically the fourth Dr Power book) will be another novel. The series to date therefore makes four novels and one book of short stories.
The new novel is set in Northern Spain and England. Power and Lynch begin a pilgrimage on the St James' Way - one route of which wends across Northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela. Dr Power is a crime-solving psychiatrist and his friend and colleague Suerpintendent Lynch is a detective. Lynch is a fervent Christian whereas Power's faith is at best agnostic. Lynch is also going through a career crisis and tensiosn are running high when their plans for the journey are abruptly and savagely derailed.
72 pages are complete so far. I think the novel will possibly be the longest to date.
