On the 2nd of September my new novel The Half-Life Of Hannah, will be published in ebook form on Kindle, iBooks, and Kobo, but if you can’t wait till then, check out Elderjuice.com who are now serialising the entire novel at the rate of one chapter a day. You can discover Hannah a full month even before the ebook comes out.
Here’s the blurb.
“Exciting new drama from the author of the #1 bestseller, The Case Of The Missing Boyfriend.”
If your first love came back to offer you everything you ever dreamed of, what would you do? Hannah is thirty-eight and the happily married mother of eleven-year-old Luke, the diamond in her world. Her marriage is reassuringly stable, pleasantly ordinary and after fifteen years she has managed to push the loves and dreams of youth from her mind and concentrate on the low-key satisfactions of here and now. The first half of her life hasn’t been as exciting as she had hoped, but then, she reckons, whose has?
When she succeeds in convincing husband Cliff to rent a villa in the south of France for their summer vacation she’s expecting little more than a pleasant few weeks with her family. But when a phone call at the villa announces the imminent arrival of a ghost from her past, Hannah’s world is turned upside down. Suddenly the calm holiday ambiance is transformed into a raging sea of jealousy and drama as Hannah struggles to re-frame the last fifteen years of her life.
But is she brave enough to take the life-changing decisions her future happiness requires? Or is she destined to make do with half a life for the rest of her days?”
If you’d like a copy of the ebook free of charge, make a note in your diary. At precisely 2:22pm on the 2nd of September, it will be a free download from the Apple, Kobo and Google Play!!
My first ever translated novel is out in bookshops all over Italy (and as an ebook) and even sold out in a few places!
Published by one of Italy’s premier publishing houses Sonzogno, the title in Italian is “Le ambigue verità des cuore” which translates roughly as “Ambiguous truths of the heart.”

The Craving
He felt it deeply and sometimes it was almost too much to bear; sometimes the deep gnawing emptiness in his soul felt so all consuming, so deep and vast and un-fillable that he thought about killing himself. Continue reading

Well, what an amazing year it’s been.
Early in 2011 I finished Sleight of Hand and released it as an ebook (to thankfully good reviews.)
I read from it in March at Paul Burston’s Polari event which was, as always, brilliant fun.
Having finally given up on ever finding a publisher for The Case Of The Missing Boyfriend (written in 2010 in fact) I decided to self publish it on Kindle. Continue reading

As I walk towards Café Néro, my stomach feels knotted with nerves. Of course “dates” are always slightly nerve-wracking, but more worrying than whether Mike will look the same as his photo on Grindr, and even more worrying than wondering if Mike will fancy me, are my own reactions if this should all go wrong.

Indeterminate Evil
The road is smooth and even, the curves rounded and predictable yet still tight enough to be fun – the bike purrs beneath him – the overall effect is sumptuous. He smiles and notes a change in the air temperature, suddenly down a couple of degrees as he rises from the valley. Continue reading
