Some years ago I  realised I wanted to spend time writing fiction. 

I read a lot of American crime fiction so I decided to transplant the 'feel' of the American noir novel into a British environment to see what it looked like. It looked good.

So since then I've written seven novels featuring private eye Sam Dyke and an eighth- non-crime - book, Actress, available on Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/Actress-ebook/dp/B00DFAWD4S/ref=la_B0034OO9BK_1_3_title_1_kin?ie=UTF8&qid=1371850094&sr=1-3
