Hey Esme, what's it like being such a cliche?

I dunno, pretty nice actually. I sip Yorkshire gold from my Yorkshire mug surrounded by my Yorkshire paraphernalia.

Yorkshire rules actually.

It's #ManOnFireMonday and yes, I try to sketch my detectives if the mood takes me. I'm not a great artist but when I'm practicing gestures and anatomy, sometimes I can't resist.

This scene is from Book 3, 'Ashes'. I'm working on the audiobook for 'Man on Fire' and hopefully will have it released

This is what recording an audiobook looks like in my house.

Happy #ManOnFireMonday everyone! Hey, did you know I made a playlist of all the songs on DeWitt's phone? I add to it all the time because hell, he's a music lover just like me.

The true Full English experience.

A full English breakfast with toast, hash browns, egg, tomato, bacon, sausage and beans.

Everything has been eaten, except the beans

Hi Gail! I'm a writer with GAD and major depression, an English teacher and a UK to US immigrant. I just published my sci-fi/detective novel on Amazon! It's like X-Men if it was a procedural.

Thank you!
