My radio phone in interview with Alex Dyke on Wight FM on 16 April was lots of fun. It was great to talk to people via a phone-in and to answer questions they’d e mailed in regarding my novels and how I write. I'd love to do more radio phone-ins so hope I can link in with other radio stations on this soon. I was also delighted to find that the Captain sailing the Wightlink ferry from Portsmouth to Fishbourne, on my way over to the Isle of Wight for my radio interview, was Captain Paul Marshall who was the Captain on the St Clare at the time of my eight hour marathon book signing event in May 2008.

This year it runs from 15 th to 22 nd June and there will again be a number of exciting events and book signings in the UK in independent bookshops. Before that though I've got lots of speaking engagements and book signings lined up. You can see them here on my blog (scroll down and see them on the right hand side) or you can view them on my official web site. I've also just been invited on to Wight FM to talk about my crime novels. In For The Kill , a fast-paced, action-packed thriller ...
