In 2017, I wrote a murder mystery musical featuring an appalling school that replaced words, in pupils’ reports, with coloured bands no one understood. Today, OFSTED…announces its new coloured bands system!

Friends! Next year it will 20 years since Little Face, my first Simon & Charlie thriller. Also, the latest S & C mystery, The Opposite of Murder, is publishing late Jan, so…if you’re a bookshop/library/event planner and might want an event late Jan/early Feb, message me!

Cheap tiny children!!!

By which I mean, my thriller Haven’t They Grown is currently only 99p on UK Kindle!!

Twelve years ago, Thomas and Emily Braid were 5 and 3 years old.

Today, they look exactly the same. Why haven’t they grown?
