The winners of the Inkshares Mystery Contest have been announced, and I’m happy to say that "Cat’s Paw" is on the list! This means we will be going forward with all the editing and rewriting and nosegrinding that goes into the publication process, and, probably a year from today, the book will make it into your hands.

Onwards!

Great news! The Unforgiven Dead has been chosen as one of the additional winners of Inkshares’ Mystery & Thriller contest. I’m not one for hyperbole, but this is THE BEST THING THAT’S EVER HAPPENENED TO ME! (Apart from the birth of my children. And my wedding day. Obviously...)

There is, however, still a lot of hard work ahead as I work with Inkshares’ editorial ninjas to polish my manuscript into a polished thing of shinny magnificence. (Ok, maybe I am one for hyperbole.)

Anyway, I would like to thank Inkshares and everyone who has supported my project. There’s been times in the last ten years when I’ve seriously considered quitting this writing lark and taking up philately instead. All seems worth it now!
