By The Book. The End
BY THE BOOK, the third instalment of my Science Fiction trilogy, SALVAGE, is out today. Yippee. When I say Science Fiction, I mean it’s set in the future, in about 250 years, and it’s set in Space, mostly, but other than that it is like all my books, sci-fi, crime or historical, about people findingContinue reading “By The Book. The End”
By The Book, Kings and Angels
In a previous post, I offered thoughts about various artistic representations of Judith and Holofernes (or at least his head), because it related to my last book, BETHULIA. If you want to know how, read the book. Having set the precedent, I am taking the opportunity to waffle about another work of art: The WiltonContinue reading “By The Book, Kings and Angels”

Bethulia – Thorne Moore
Originally posted on Crime Cymru:
This week Crime Cymru’s Thorne Moore tells us about her new novel – Bethulia. For Thorne this marks a move into a new sub-genre of crime fiction – a bold move and I’m sure a successful one…… My latest crime fiction, Bethulia, breaks new ground for me, in that it…
Bethulia: The Master and the Mouse
My latest book, Bethulia, follows the story of several women, but they all revolve around a man, Simon Delaney. There are two things you need to know about Simon Delaney. a) he’s good-looking and b) he’s the bad guy. This is not a serious spoiler, because I think it’s fairly obvious to the reader fromContinue reading “Bethulia: The Master and the Mouse”
