First day as Santa tomorrow.
I'm ready!

Me as Father Christmas at a local park. I did my Scots brogue. Very similar to Shrek.

Marcus Aurelius would meditate each morning, reminding himself that today he'd meet people who were rude and unpleasant.
Then when he encountered them, he'd think "there you are." This robbed them of the ability to disturb his calm.
I use this technique for aggressive drivers with great results.

My debut novel, A Knife in the Fog, placed s young Arthur Conan Doyle, Professor Joseph Bell, and journalist Margaret Harkness, on the trail of Jack the Ripper. I produced a short film based on the story as a proof of concept for a tv miniseries. The director starts pitching next week. We'll see.

If you ever want to start a meaningful conversation with someone from the UK, ask them the proper way to eat a scone.
Trust me, emotions run deep on that topic.

Shameless promo for my November 18 release of my fifth book, an art heist aboard the Titanic by a trio of female thieves. The Forty Elephants was a female gang that existed from 1780 to 1953, operating out of a pub called the Elephant and Castle.

Shameless promo:
My Titanic novel comes out November 18. A female gang boards to steal a painting by Blondell. Opposing them is a Pinkerton agent, the son of consulting criminal Adam Worth, the inspiration for Professor Moriarty. What could go wrong?

For many months we've heard about
A list of pedophiles
Rich men on their private jets
Molesting juveniles
A torrid tome of horrid men
Who should be roundly hissed
We've been waiting for the list
Now we're told it don't exist
Chorus
We wanna see the list
But you say we must desist

Amazing news! Dark Tryst was just selected by LA Indie Horror Fest via FilmFreeway.com!

Available as e-book in English and German, I place my heroine, Margaret Harkness, in 1912 Lyon, France, to help solve a murder with the support of the world's first crime lab.

Premiere of my short film, Leviathan, was well received.
After, my wife presented the director with a Native American blanket featuring a White Buffalo. A wonderful memory.

March 8 is the London premiere for this short film based on my novel, A Knife in the Fog, where I put Dr Conan Doyle on the hunt for Jack the Ripper. I'm 73 and living a dream.
