PRAISE FOR A STUDY IN SCARLET
“Every generation should be introduced to the only unofficial consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most acclaimed pair of characters, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, have entertained and enthralled readers of all ages from the late 1800’s to the present day. The first book in the series, A Study in Scarlet, is an excellent introduction into the world of mystery and deduction that has become akin to Mr. Holmes.” BaltimoreReads.com

THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
“A brilliant book! I thoroughly enjoyed the 12 stories, each different, and each varying in their crime levels. I heartily recommend this book to you!” The Big Book Review

THE MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
“To my mind, this is easily the best collection of Holmes stories ever assembled. The variety of the stories are great and, as always, excellently written. What I like most about it is that it reveals many stages of Holme's life.” John Darling

THE SIGN OF FOUR
“Watson and Sherlock are back in this delicious mystery, one of only four full Sherlock novels. This one has it all and is my personal favorite.” Melissa

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
“The ultimate tale of the ultimate Victorian hero, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a true masterpiece of the mystery genre, and quite possibly remains the finest mystery novel ever produced.” Brad

THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
“More rollicking adventures with Holmes and Watson, all with heart, banter, and increasingly dark crimes. “The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton”, it could be argued, is the quintessential Holmes story.” The Literary Omnivore

THE VALLEY OF FEAR
“I sped through this novel which in my opinion was a superb tale of mystery, fear & tyranny that stretched from an English country manor to the American coal fields.” David

HIS LAST BOW
“Here, we have a collection of eight classic short stories featuring the world-renowned investigator Sherlock Holmes and his faithful chronicler, Dr. John Watson M.D. I'm quite the fan of Sir Arthur's short stories, because each one is as good as a novel and they're the perfect length to read on the bus, in the bath or before going to bed.” Sociabookshelves.com

“Saved the best for last, in my opinion. Another collection of short stories. Great plots. Good dialogue. Nothing was really repetitive from the older stories, impressive considering the amount written and this being the last published (I believe). Great read.” Kevin

“Wonderful in every respect! It is interesting that a few of the short stories here are narrated by Holmes instead of Watson, and one is narrated by no one in the first person (as is usual) but is told by an omniscient author in third person. I wonder why the change, but it works just fine and doesn't deter from the stories. It IS interesting to see a couple of stories from Holmes point of view!” Kailey

“This book is a must for mystery fans and general readers alike. Don't make the mistake of thinking that because these stories are "classics," they are going to be stodgy reading, or that you have to be a Holmes fan to enjoy them. "The Case Book" is still one of the most entertaining books ever written. Perfect for airplane or beach!” Kenneth

“If you have ever read any Sherlock Holmes and enjoyed them, you should treat yourself to the final chapters of Holmes and Watson, when Conan Doyle was forced by public demand to bring back Sherlock Holmes mysteries after he had grown tired of writing them. They are just as good as the former mysteries, and some of them 'penned' by Holmes himself!” Marie

THE CASEBOOK OF SHERLOCK HOLMES features 12 classic stories in a specially designed edition for kindle. These are Conan Doyle’s masterpieces which will intrigue and delight you. Read them as they are meant to be read: complete, and unabridged.

“I would strongly recommend it to any of my friends who enjoy a good crime mystery. For any lovers of Sherlock Holmes stories who have not read The Valley of Fear, I would say that their reading is not complete if this one is missing from their list” Lance

“I sped through this novel which in my opinion was a superb tale of mystery, fear & tyranny that stretched from an English country manor to the American coal fields.” David

“I very much enjoyed this book and it felt like a treat as it was almost two books in one; the first being set in Birlstone Manor House with Sherlock and Dr Watson investigating the gruesome murder of Mr Douglas, and the second set in ‘The Valley of Fear’ in Vermissa Valley in America detailing the history of the crime and not featuring Sherlock at all. Totally brilliant and completely enjoyable. I think this may be one of my favourite Sherlock Holmes’ stories.” ClassicBookClub.com

“This has many of the Sherlock Holmes staples: a cipher that Holmes decodes with ease, a gloomy isolated house in the middle of nowhere, befuddled lawmen, and a great revelation in the middle of the story. It is certainly a worthy read.” EOpinions.com

THE VALLEY OF FEAR is the final Sherlock Holmes mystery novel in a specially designed edition for kindle. This is one of Conan Doyle’s masterpieces which will intrigue and delight you. Read it as it’s meant to be read: complete, and unabridged with the original illustrations from its first publication.

“A Study In Scarlet - A fast-paced, witty novel which introduces us to the now well-known characters Holmes and Watson. I was really eager to read his after the duo's recent reincarnations on the big and little screens, and I wasn't disappointed.” Laura
“Every generation should be introduced to the only unofficial consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most acclaimed pair of characters, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, have entertained and enthralled readers of all ages from the late 1800’s to the present day. The first book in the series, A Study in Scarlet, is an excellent introduction into the world of mystery and deduction that has become akin to Mr. Holmes.” BaltimoreReads.com

“This is the book that started it all. It was clear reading this a second time how vast an influence Conan Doyle has enjoyed on all mystery fiction since. Most of what Holmes does in investigating a crime was brand new at that time, and hardly common. Now it's very common, and we have Conan Doyle to thank for it. Doyle was a doctor, wrote a non-fiction treatise on a particular poisonous plant, and was used by Scotland Yard as a consultant. "Write what you know," is often given as advice for writers. He certainly knew his subject. I think that is why this story, well over a hundred years old, holds up so well.” Morris

“For me, A Study in Scarlet is a must-read on every level. Not least to learn of Holmes’s view of life and his ambitions in this one singularly satisfying sentence: ‘There’s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.’ Truly wonderful writing.”-WordPlayWriters.com

A STUDY IN SCARLET features the first outing of Sherlock Holmes in a specially designed edition for kindle. This is one of Conan Doyle’s masterpieces which will intrigue and delight you.

A Brilliant Period Detective Mystery
A woman’s body is found floating face down in Heaton Park Boating Lake. Her throat has been cut, with flowers strewn around her. When an obvious suspect is found murdered in an even more grizzly fashion, the case becomes stranger still. Detectives James Francis Dineen and John Moreland must find the killer, and the answer may just be found in a painting. Set in the Manchester of 1912, this detective story is an engaging tale of love gone wrong between rich and poor, the perils of prejudice, and a twisted murderer with a point to prove.

James Dineen is inspired by Sherlock Holmes, and tries unorthodox tactics that aren't taught in training school. He's from the same rough background as the criminals he pursues, so isn't afraid to bend the rules to solve a case. While John Moreland is a church-going family man, who plays by the book.

The Heaton Park Murder is the second of Peter Keeley's London Road mysteries, stories from the casebook of James Francis Dineen. It will appeal to all fans of early 20th century detective fiction. Look out for further adventures on Amazon soon.

"Wow! I love the battle of wits between these two very different women." Beth Boyd

"Full of passion, envy, love and hate. A really romantic suspense story" Melissa Bond

"Really enjoyed this book and did I say it was HOT? I started and finished it in one sitting, too good to set down." – A. Hamilton

After actress Kate's increasingly estranged husband dies in a fatal car crash, Hollywood heartthrob Rhys helps her recover. Yet as their fledgling romance is rekindled and they move to LA, it seems that Rhys's ex, Amelia will stop at nothing to humiliate Kate and reclaim her man. Will the honest and demure Kate survive being hounded by the press and cement her relationship with Rhys, or will the cunning Amelia ruin everything?

The Jealousy Game is the stand-alone sequel to Playing with Fidelity, Book One of HOT SET by Kerry Northe available here:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DAJRKBA/

Praise for Playing with Fidelity:

"Intriguing, engaging and hard to put down! Fantastic story and likeable characters. Loved it and can't wait for a sequel!!!" – Bluebug

"Hot Set is a brilliantly addictive read - it's sumptuously descriptive, intriguing, über-sexy and it hits a nice balance between playful humour and dark emotion. Northe's characters are instantly relatable, which is no easy feat considering the superficial Hollywood world they inhabit. I highly recommend it and am tapping my foot impatiently for Part 2 to be released!" – Miss Daisy

"I bought this e-book wanting something light and easy to read while doing overnight feeds with a baby. What began as something to entertain in 30 minute stints quickly became totally engrossing and I was unable to put it down. I absolutely loved that each character was so beautifully evolved and I really enjoyed the sub-plot story line involving Amelia. It's rare to find a chick lit book that delves into secondary characters so well. I had goose bumps near the end of the book and I can't wait to buy the sequel to find out where this story leads." - mwanddb

“Hot Set oozes passion. If I could I would pre-order the sequel now.” Beth Boyd (Bestselling author of Love)

"Sumptuous summer reading. A delightful setting." Ann Abrams (Author of Mobius)

With local police stymied, former Scotland Yard Commander, Nicholas Adams and his team, are called in. But even with the extensive surveillance of central computer BigSys and the pervasive eyes of cameras that cover so much of the country, it takes the skills of the attractive Verity Burne – computer wizard and freelance feature writer – to uncover the links between the homicides that lead to the discovery of past injustices and a thirst for bloody vengeance.

-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly

“Here, we have a collection of eight classic short stories featuring the world-renowned investigator Sherlock Holmes and his faithful chronicler, Dr. John Watson M.D. I'm quite the fan of Sir Arthur's short stories, because each one is as good as a novel and they're the perfect length to read on the bus, in the bath or before going to bed.” Socialbookshelves.com

“A collection of Sherlock Holmes adventures. I had so much fun reading this book. It was just amazing!” Ann Jacob

“Eight fascinating Holmes stories, each of them a fairly decent length, utterly perfect to curl up with on a chilly December evening. I adore the character of Holmes, it matches exactly the mood that Doyle creates so perfectly in each story. The tension and fear that lies beneath a rarefied Englishness, the dense fogs that swirl outside the windows of Baker Street, while a great mind is figuring out the unfathomable. In my personal favourite 'The Adventure of the Devil's Foot' Holmes and Watson find themselves in a tiny Cornish village, where a woman has been apparently terrified to death.” Victoria

HIS LAST BOW features 8 classic mysteries in a specially designed edition for kindle. These are Conan Doyle’s masterpieces which will intrigue and delight you. Read them as they are meant to be read: complete, and unabridged with illustrations from their first publication.

The Definitive Edition of SWANN’S WAY
-Illustrated with beautiful vintage images
-Complete, unabridged, and formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience
-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly
-Scott Moncrieff’s classic translation

“Swann’s Way puts you firmly behind the eyes and into the mind of its characters. And so completely will you borrow their thoughts, feelings, and passion, that they become entangled with your own. This isn’t just a good book. It’s hard to define, sublime and infinitely underlineable; but ultimately, Swann’s Way is nothing short of a walking tour for the human mind.” Mind Blowing Books

“For 100 years now, Swann’s Way, the first volume of Marcel Proust’s masterpiece, has engaged and enchanted readers. Within moments of turning back the cover and dropping your eyes into the trenches of text, the reader is sent to soaring heights of rapture while clinging to Proust’s prose, leaving no room for doubt that this is well-deserving of its honor among the timeless classics.” S. Penkevich

“When in Proust’s world, it is the remarks on human nature and memory and social customs and relationships and whatever else comes with that trip that makes it so worthwhile.” Jason

“Swann’s Way is often regarded as one of the best novels ever written. The fact that so many readers have continued to praise the text since its original publication in 1913, lead me to add it to my reading list some time ago. After finishing the book, I decided that I agree with the praise it has been given over the years.” Lisa’s Literary Life

SWANN’S WAY is a masterpiece of memory, longing and love which will stay with you forever. Beautifully presented for Kindle, marking the 100th anniversary of its publication, this is the first volume of Marcel Proust’s ‘Remembrance of Things Past.’

“Another great collection of Sherlock Holmes short mysteries. These shorts are where Sherlock really gets to shine. “ Chad

“I actually found this collection to be, if anything stronger than the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Stories such as "The Empty House," "The Norwood Builder," "The Dancing Men," and "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" are pure classics. From the first story to the last, Holmes is at his best as the master of deduction.” Greatdetectives.net

“More rollicking adventures with Holmes and Watson, all with heart, banter, and increasingly dark crimes. “The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton”, it could be argued, is the quintessential Holmes story.” The Literary Omnivore

“This is the second collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories and it is even better than the first as it becomes a bit more than simply solving mysteries as we find out more about Sherlock Holmes's life and his character is developed.” Dan

“This collection presents many of the most familiar cases Holmes and his assistant, Dr. Watson, ever solve, including "Silver Blaze," "The Greek Interpreter," and "The Musgrave Ritual." As Holmes's fame grows, it brings him notoriety that piques the ire of London's criminal underworld, who begin to scheme against him. It is in "The Final Problem" that Dr. Watson relates the grisly, fatal, and shocking tale of how Holmes finally meets his match, encountering the diabolical Professor Moriarty in a terrible struggle at Reichenbach Falls.” Lori Caswell

THE STRANGE CASE OF ALBERT MITCHELL by Peter Keeley



THE STRANGE CASE OF ALBERT MITCHELL (detective mysteries) (Case One of The London Road Mysteries)

"I loved this rip roaring detective story. Great period details and strong characters. I read it in one sitting," Chris Child

"There's a lot of action. I could imagine this making an exciting TV series." Ann Abrams

"It's great for Sherlock Holmes fans. Peter Keeley brings Manchester in 1911 to vivid life." Steve Moore

A brilliant period detective mystery
Detective James Francis Dineen and his partner John Moreland hear a gunshot during a training exercise at the London Road police station. Running over, they find one of their colleagues is dead, with an unfired gun in his hand. It looks like a disguised murder, but with no witnesses and no motive the detectives must deploy all their skills to unpick the mystery. Soon there's another corpse, and a significant new clue. Their investigation takes them across Manchester as they go from shady pubs and opium dens to the Royal Exchange.

James Dineen is inspired by Sherlock Holmes, and tries unorthodox tactics that aren't taught in training school. He's from the same rough background as the criminals he pursues, so isn't afraid to bend the rules to solve a case. While John Moreland is a church-going family man, who plays by the book.

The Strange Case of Albert Mitchell is the first of Peter Keeley's London Road mysteries, stories from the casebook of James Francis Dineen. It will appeal to all fans of early 20th century detective fiction. Look out for further adventures on Amazon soon.

-This is the definitive 1908 text revised by the author himself

“One of the thousand novels everyone must read.” The Guardian

“And I have never read anything as beautiful as that . . . So begins “The Portrait of a Lady,” and its opening chords, quiet as they are, have almost no match in English-speaking literature.” Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

“One of the most enthralling and enchanting novels that I've read in a long, long time.” Christopher H.

“The Portrait of a Lady is Henry James's most famous work, and Isabel Archer his most famous heroine. This is James at his best.” Litlovers

“The story of a young American woman "affronting her destiny", James endows his heroine with every possibility for freedom and happiness — an inheritance, independence of mind and beauty — only for her to become trapped by the Machiavellian Madame Merle and the sinister Osmond. Not even a passionate embrace with the manly Caspar Goodwood (is there a sexier kiss in all of literature?) can make her change her mind and renounce her duty.” Lisa Allardice, The Guardian

THE PORTRAIT OF THE LADY is one of the greatest novels of all time in a beautifully presented edition specially designed for kindle. This is Henry James’ masterpiece which will stay with you forever.

3 Great Adventure Books in one beautifully illustrated edition


“Great value classics wonderfully presented for kindle, these are 3 adventure books that rank as some of the best ever written” Classic Fiction

Includes complete and unabridged:
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE-DAME
JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH

Three of the greatest adventure novels ever written, which define the genre
-Illustrated with stunning images and many of the original illustrations
-Complete, unabridged, and formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience
-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly

PRAISE FOR THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
“It is no exaggeration to say “Monte Cristo” still ranks as one of the most exciting stories imaginable, one every bit as good as anything Steven Spielberg or J.K. Rowling could ever conjure up. Edmond Dantes, a young sailor on the cusp of being named captain of a cargo ship and preparing to marry his sweetheart, becomes the victim of a plot by envious rivals” CS Monitor
“Page-turners like this one never age . . . you always want to find out what happens next.” Neil Smith

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
“This is definitely my favourite classic, I loved the dark atmosphere of the book, and the setting being Notre-Dame, which is one of my favourite places in Paris. It's not entirely dark and horrible, there are times when it can be humorous, but it's brutal in terms of showing what obsession can become when it's misunderstood as love and the true form of love shown by other characters.” Leah

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH
“Journey to the Center of the Earth is a rousing good adventure, however, and an excellent example of early science fiction. Jules Verne was an amazing pioneer with an appealing style that is still effective one hundred and fifty years later.“ Bookworm Blather
“His descriptions evoke the loneliness and eerie silence of the caves they travel through, the desperation they experience with losing equipment or food

-Illustrated with fascinating period illustrations of whaling and ships
-Complete, unabridged, and formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience
-Linked table of contents to reach your chapter quickly
“One of the 1000 novels everyone must read.” The Guardian

“Surprisingly funny, wholly engaging, and deserving of its lofty rank among the canon of American literature; I enjoyed every page of Melville's Moby-Dick.” Amanda

“I may re-read it in a few years just to get back onto the Pequod and feel that cool salt sea air brush against my face and live among the crew again. I recommend this great novel to EVERYONE!” Martha

“But “Moby-Dick” is not a novel. It’s barely a book at all. It’s more an act of transference, of ideas and evocations hung around the vast and unknowable shape of the whale, an extended musing on the strange meeting of human history and natural history. It is, above all, a sui-generis creation, one that came into the world as an unnatural, immaculate conception.” Philip Hoare, The New Yorker

“We all know the story: man seeks unattainable object of deranged desire and causes general devastation in the process. This is the novel of restless human drive: to perfection, to mastery, to madness, to write a novel in the first place, to aim for something other than "a damp, drizzly November in the soul".” Chris Ross, The Guardian

MOBY DICK is one of the most exciting and profound novels of all time. Presented in a beautiful edition to mark the 160th anniversary of this classic, specially designed for kindle, this is Melville’s masterpiece of obsession which will stay with you forever.

WHY DO WE WRITE? BUD CRAIG

WHY DO WE WRITE?

Bud Craig, author of the crime thriller TACKLING DEATH talks about writing with NSNB


TACKLING DEATH (a crime thriller)
Q. Bud you’ve written much in the past, what drives you to write?
A. Writing has its frustrations, but when it all starts coming together (usually after I’ve written and rejected lots of stuff) it’s very satisfying. I can’t imagine not writing. And it’s a solitary occupation, so it suits a miserable bugger like me!

      Q: What made you write this particular book?
About 5 or 6 years ago I resuscitated an old idea. I wanted to set it in Salford, where I was born and bred. For most of my adult life I have lived in a village near Darlington, quite a contrast with my early life. I barely recognize my home town now. This distance probably made it more interesting to write.   
The basic plot has remained unchanged throughout the writing process, so I suppose the urge to tell the story was a strong motivating factor. It was slow going at first - I was writing other things as well and it was hard to get it right. I’d almost given up on it a couple of times. In the end it was sheer determination that made me write it. After several drafts I did some drastic pruning and made the style more direct. I kept telling myself, ‘You can make something of this.’
Now Not So Noble Books say it has ‘good cohesion, narrative flow and a natural style’. Who am I to argue? Those are the things I’m constantly striving for. I’ve never been all that keen on hard work, but believe me I worked on this.

Q. Name your favourite crime writers. What is the best crime novel of all time and why?
My favourite crime writers at the moment are, in no particular order, Simon Brett, Laura Wilson, Kate Ellis and John Dean. They all tell a good story but I particularly like their believable central characters.
Simon Brett was judge of the Steyning Short Story Competition in 2012. He chose my entry as one of the highly commended ones and said nice things about it so now I like him even more! The contest was judged anonymously so he doesn’t know my name. Perhaps we should tell him!  
My favourite non-crime writer is PG Wodehouse. I recently read Pat Barker’s latest book, Toby’s Room, on my Kindle. It’s fantastic. Another writer I like is Deborah Moggach - I’ve read most of her books and have been catching up on her back catalogue.
I haven’t got a best ever crime book, I’m afraid.

      Q: Your daughter is a successful novelist, tell us a little about her books.
Her first book, Northern Soul Revival by Claire Moss, was published a couple of years ago. It’s a modern romance and it’s brilliant. (I know I would say that - if you don’t believe me read it!) It is set in Sheffield, Tasmania and a fictional North Yorkshire town.
I was drawn into it from the first and soon forgot my daughter had written it. It has some very funny passages, good dialogue and strong characters. It is marketed as a ‘woman’s book’ but the male protagonist is particularly good, I think.
Claire has recently signed a two book deal with Carina UK. Her next book Who Do You Think You Are? will be out as an e-book, probably in November 2013. It is set in the present day, with flashbacks to the miners’ strike of 1984 and 1985.

Q. Is yours a literary household then?  Where did you get the bug?
I don’t know about literary, that sounds a bit grand. We certainly have a lot of books - there are some in every room in the house. Thank goodness for e-books, otherwise we’d be overrun by now!  
All the family are avid readers. I’m sure my 4 grandchildren will grow up to be book lovers.
My younger daughter, Ruth was runner up in the Sid Chaplin Short Story Competition when she was about 14 and when she has time she may get back to writing.  
My wife, Ann, concentrates on arts and crafts, for which I have absolutely no talent. 
How did I get the writing bug?  I suppose I wanted to do something creative. I like words and people have said I’m good with words. Maybe that’s it, but really these things can’t be explained.

Q. How important was success in writing competitions to your progress as a writer?
I would say two things in particular have helped me progress: writing competitions and joining the Inkerman Writers, a Darlington writing group.
Competitions first. In 2005 I was shortlisted in a novel writing competition in Writers’ Forum. A few months later I got  a rave review - no exaggeration- when I was shortlisted in Opening Lines on Radio 4. This was with The Final Test, a short story set during the 2005 Ashes series. (I’m a big cricket fan. I heard about Not So Noble Books’ interest in publishing Tackling Death the day Durham won the county championship. Does it get any better than that?)  
Things went on from there. In all I have done well in competitions on about 20 occasions. This includes being shortlisted in the Kenneth Branagh Windsor Festival Drama Awards 2 years running. 
I haven’t made much money from competitions, but this is the sort of thing that has helped keep me going.
I joined the Inkermans in 2003. We attend writing classes run by crime writer, John Dean. Three of us have been members for 10 years, many for 5 years or more. I have learned to write short stories while I have been with the group and have benefitted from my fellow writers’ feedback. It’s not a question of being told how to write (that’s impossible anyway). It’s more subtle than that. Learning to write is a gradual, incremental process and is mainly up to you. And you must practice!

Q. How has your career as a social worker informed your writing?
I first got published in Community Care, a social work magazine more years ago than I’m prepared to admit. They paid me what seemed like a lot of money at the time for The Adventure of Ivor Problem episodes one and two. These satirical stories were called It Doesn’t Matter Any More and Mama Weer All Crazee Now. I have recently written updated versions. They’re still getting laughs.
Tackling Death is partly set in a social work office, but I don’t think the book’s about social work. The setting, and Gus’s occupation, are things I have experienced. In social work, “All Human Life is Here”, as a newspaper said of itself in the old days. So I reckon it must have influenced me, even though I’m not always aware of it. As with Salford I am more distanced from it now. On a personal level this is quite a relief, given the current headlines about social work.
The titles of the Ivor Problem stories show how pop music has inspired my writing. Most of the work I have had success with has mentioned Elvis, though I’m not sure what that means. The King of Rock’n’Roll can’t tell us as he has left the building.
Sport gets the occasional mention too, for example in The Final Test. The best short story I’ve ever written is called Marching On, partly set at the time of the Munich air crash. One of the plays shortlisted in the Windsor Awards is based on this. And of course Rugby League features a bit inTackling Death.   

Q: Sum up your book in tweetable length.
I’ve never tweeted in my life but here goes:
Gus finds boss’s body. Becomes Private Eye. Investigates murder and that’s just the start of it!

Q. When are we going to see the sequel?
No pressure, I suppose? It’s too early to say at the minute, but I’ll be giving this priority above other writing. I’ve made a start and know who gets killed and whodunnit.  All I have to do is write it!
