He is currently working on both the fourth and fifth books in the series.

Hello. My name is F.R. Jameson.

[image error]



And I write horror and noir thrillers. I also used to keep this blog fairly up to date, but at the moment – with life, a small child and a busy writing schedule – I’m finding it harder and harder to keep on top of it. So for now, with a certain amount of regret, I am putting it on hiatus.

Jo I don't know enough Y. Ripper history to know why he was named as Peter Williams in the book and not Sutcliffe. I shall have to ask an older colleague who was a uni student at the time of the murders so remembers it all very well.

Beth Hi F.R.,
Thanks for befriending this fellow mystery/suspense author!

Elizabeth Hi, glad to be your friend on Good Reads!

In the UK? How exciting to meet a fellow author across the pond. I am in California with ancestry links to Redwood Castle in Ireland through my da's Irish Clan.

I've not read much horror, (and I am a cozy mystery author, greatly influenced by the British cozy authors) of horror genre, I have read classics from Peter Straub, E.A. Poe and a few others.

I was a Finalist Judge for the Eppies this year and surprisingly one of the novels I was given to judge was horror. It was so very well-writtten I gave it the highest possible score!
