I used to write, read and live in Cairo, KL, Jakarta and Riyadh. Now I do all that in Lichfield while placating two Indonesian streetcats.

My novel 'Do Not Keep Silent' is available on Amazon.

💙📚 All books have origin stories, even Christmas thrillers!

No Way To Live started in a cramped Saudi flat with surface-to-air missile defences shaking the windows.

For indie authors, time is often limited - yet there's a lot of writing podcasts out there that could be useful.
I've listened to and rated five of them so you can see if you need to listen to any.

From Out of Sight to Dean Koontz’s Cold Fire, I’ve listed 5 novels where sparks and suspense collide (including my Hong Kong–set Do Not Keep Silent).

What kind of James Bond story starts with 007 trying to assassinate M?
Ian Fleming’s final novel, The Man With The Golden Gun, is dark, sharp, and full of noir tension.
