We have a pre Christmas release for the second Jack Shepherd thriller. CHANGING THE ODDS comes out during the first week in December.
I seem to have settled into this crime novelist scene. I’m being drawn away, slowly but inescapably, from my original day job in TV and films,
…
Going into autumn 2015 with 2 new crime novels about to be published – the second Jack Shepherd book CHANGING THE ODDS , published by Oak Tree Press and ONE FIGHT AT A TIME (about an American GI in Bristol after the end of World War Two), published by Endeavour Press.

Hi Comrades
A lot has been happening in 2014. In my new day job as well as the old one. So chronologically…
We opened our new village cinema “The Majestic” in January, with a screening of Ben Affleck’s terrific film ARGO.
CLOSING THE DISTANCE was published in February,

Congratulations to Bath Libraries for setting up ALL their writing workshops.

Thanks to all who have bought “Closing the Distance”,

More than a third of the way through second Jack Shepherd novel. A great weekend. Saturday spent with old friends who have moved to an Arts and Crafts built house in the Forest of Dean. Back to work refreshed.
…
“Changing the Odds”, the second Jack Shepherd, novel is under way.
Shepherd’s old friend, retired bookie Joe Marsh, disappears; leaving a pool of blood on the hall floor; his car still in the garage; his laptop, wallet and everything to identify him, in his study.
Is he dead,

“Closing the Distance” is set in Bristol; the place which adopted me some thirty-five years ago.
I moved to Jack Shepherd’s city when I was broke and out of work, and my brother in law offered me the spare bedroom in his flat in Horfield. I got a job with the local ITV Channel,
…
What on earth does this have to do with the police?
Didn’t read the article… the quote was enough.
What utter claptrap.
What does it even mean!
Blah, blah, blah!
