My first published book 'Cold Hell in Darley Dene' (written as Glenn Stuart) was the culmination of years of trying to get myself into print. Back in 1979 I submitted a novel to a publisher, and in 2009 Darley Dene was accepted. Thirty years of honing my skills, and learning a lot about the world. If I had the chance, I'd almost certainly re-write all of my books, improve them, make them more solid, because the more we write, the better we get.This is what has happened to 'Darley Dene'.

Adventures in Writing – a new look!

It has been quite a while since I last wrote this blog.

I became very disillusioned with my life all that time ago. My writing wasn’t going anywhere, my marriage was falling apart and, all in all, the future appeared grim.

Well, life is weird, as you all probably know! Here I am, all those years later, and almost everything has changed.

I have now remarried and am very happy.

I continue to live in

Tense, superbly plotted. The pace of this grips you from the very onset and never lets go. Harris is a true master, tells a gripping tale, and always leaves you wanting more. Highly recommended.
