Went to a fabulous exhibition of Paul Kidby's artwork for Terry Pratchett's books at our local museum. Look out for it - it's touring!

Very sad to hear that Dr Graham Lawler, who published my crime science book, has recently died. He was a major figure in mathematics education as well as the publisher of a wide range of books.

Just finished The Real Happy Valley by Alice Vinten - terrific accounts of the bravery and compassion of real women police officers in Yorkshire. Highly recommended!

Mark Billingham has desctibed me as "the greatest expert I know when it comes to poisons". Very flattering and a lot to live up to, but why not check out my collection of short stories A Pocketful of Poisons! www.amazon.co.uk/Pocketful-Po...

Science tip for authors. If your detective suspects a white powder is cocaine, don't have them taste it or rub it on their gums to see if it makes them numb. If it turned out to be fentanyl it could kill them!

I'm being interviewed on BBC Upload and reading the intro to my novel Fatal Image. You can use BBC Sounds wherever you are and at any time. It's tonight on Radio Gloucestershire & Radio Wiltshire from 6pm and from 7pm on Radio Bristol & Radio Somerset. Repeated on Saturday at various times.
