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

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.

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?

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.
