Hi there,

just a little treat for you all...and a request for some feedback. Below is the new front cover, and a prospective blurb for the back cover. Feel free to comment on both, and if anybody fancies being a beta reader feel free to let me know.

With the Ripper conspiracy laid to rest, and the Louisiana Torso case closed; Sherriff Duke Lanoix and Detective Chandler Travis were enjoying some downtime with their respective partners.

 But then Travis receives a call from Belgian Detective Jochum Hoog. A headless torso with eerie similarities to their recent investigation turns up in a canal within the medieval city of Bruges.

 With a booming tourist industry to protect, and the threat of more victims, the Belgium authorities wanted the case closed.  And fast!

 Within hours Duke, Roxie and Travis are headed for Belgium. But as the body count grows their search leads them beneath the streets of Bruges where the investigation becomes personal…with devastating results.

Hi there! Just a quick update to my fans who have been following progress with the great RIDDLE contest taking place over the summer within BRUGES BLOOD.  

With the chance to win a prize of $50 by unravelling the mystery and being entered into the prize draw, I was expecting a deluge of sleuths...but no...I may have overestimated your sleuthyness...or the heat of the summer worldwide.  

So I am axing the cut off date which was previously the end of August and leaving it running until I have a collection of super sleuths clamouring for a result.  I’m also seriously thinking about making this a "thing" in each book. I am progressing with VENICE BLOOD, BRUGES BLOOD II, and a new venture BOOM! 

BOOM! Is set in the world of 80s television and follows a technician in the Sound Department, a sort of Robin Hood figure who corrects the misuse of power and exacts revenge on those who abuse it. 

It’s a darkly comic look at a time when #metoo
was just a glimmer on the horizon.

Good luck with the riddle and enjoy your heatwave!
