writing

My crime novel "ONE OF US" was shortlisted for the Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger award. You can read the first chapter of it here. I've since finished ONE OF US and am working on my next novel, another crime novel with the working title of CALENTURE.

A couple of my short stories are coming up for publication. A WALK IN THE PARK will appear in Alfred Hitchcock's, and THERE STOOD THE DEAD will appear in an anthology called APPARITIONS.

To date I've had over thirty short stories published in places like Hitchcock's, Ellery Queen's, Postscripts, Hardluck Stories and others. THE CHAIN was voted in the top ten stories of the year by EQMM readers. ONE STEP CLOSER won the 2005 Derringer Award for mid-length short story. LILIES was shortlisted for the BFS best short story, and anthologised in BEST NEW HORROR 16 and a Mexican anthology SOMBRA DEL ARBOL DE LA NOCHE.

Some of my short crime fiction is available online: ONE STEP CLOSER, THE MOTH, CHAIRMAN OF THE BORED and GAME ON. I’ve also put some of the flash fiction that I’ve written online here.
