As I’ve been finishing off the editing of I Confess, I have found myself facing a simple question. The book is set in the 1950s when the average man had a very different attitude to the women he met compared to the average member of the modern liberal metropolitan wokerati of today. So to what …
Like the arrival of the largest baby elephant, the gestation of I Confess has, I must admit, taken an inhuman amount of time. Well, the good news is that it is going to hit the streets in a matter of a handful of weeks. The manuscript has finally arrived at my editor and then when …
I am pleased to tell you that I have completed the first draft of the first novel in my new private detective series, Jake Adkins PI. The novel is called I Confess and you should expect it to hit the streets in April. It is set in Los Angeles 1953 and follows Jake’s attempt to …
I should have run this post at the beginning of September, but the simple truth is that I forgot to. There is a tradition (reaching back two books) that I announce the start with a numerical image.

The good news is that I received the manuscript back from my editor earlier today, which means we are only weeks, …
The final book in the Alex Cohen series, The Mensch is coming along nicely. While still in the editing phase, it is in a decent enough shape even at this point in its journey. Alex remains committed to leaving the world of mobsters behind him, but somehow he is sucked back in time and time …
I thought I’d give you a short update on where I am at with this writing thang. Book 7 of Alex Cohen, The Mensch now exists as a full first draft and is going through the editing process. I hope to soft launch it in July/August. Pre-order now to make sure you get it on …
I have just completed the first draft of The Mensch, which is the last book in the Alex Cohen series. It’ll take another couple of months before it hits the streets, but you can buy a pre-order now from your favorite retailer so that you get it as soon as it is released. If Kobo, …
