One Book Ends & Another Begins

Kill It With Fire really reignited my passion for crime.

No, not that sort of crime you foolish person…

I’m sure you’d say my approach to writing has been somewhat scattergun over the last few years. And, to be perfectly honest, I couldn’t disagree with you. But having said that I have published a bunch of books so, you know, I have that going for me.

The problem, if there can be said to be one, is that there hasn’t been any consistency.

Crime book… kids book… short stories?! Well a calm has descended here at Maxwell towers and my passion for crime has been well and truly reignited.

I always knew that The Dali Deception was going to be the first in a long-running series and, right now that series (Kilchester books one and two) is soon to expand into a trilogy.

I’ll probably blog about it another time but I struggled to get my head in the game until the second draft of Kill It With Fire but after I did I remembered why I loved Violet, Katie and the gang.

And so off I went and wrote an outline for book three in the series.

As of today I am over thirty-two thousand words in to the first draft and adding more every day. To put that in to perspective that’s now longer than Kill It With Fire and I’m only a fraction of the way through.

This one is going to be my longest book yet and, do you know what?

I couldn’t be happier.
