Well, I’ve finally got around to recording a couple of excerpts from Exit Strategies to post on the site. Takes longer than you’d think to get it right.

Anywhere, here they are. The first is an introduction to the novel followed by the opening section of Chapter One, where we find Vic arriving at work to take part in the dissection of a corpse.

Chapter One (intro and excerpt)

And here is an excerpt from Chapter Four. Vic’s initial money-making schemes have all fallen flat and now he needs a haircut before his date with the widow. Cue Francesco the barbarian barber and his spiteful sidekick Vito.

I’ll be posting more excerpts from Exit Strategies in the coming weeks. Let me know if you like them, and feel free to share this content with friends. I need you to help me get the word out there!

Many thanks to everyone that came to the launch party for Mosaic. It was a fun evening and we must do it all again sometime soon.

I really enjoyed reading ‘In The Tattoo Parlour’ in front of an audience for the first time. And we had a lively Q&A session that was much longer, yet far more comfortable, than I had expected!

The readings seemed to go down very well. So much so that I’m planning to do some audio recordings from Exit Strategies and put them up on the site. As always I’ll keep you posted.

I sold out all my copies of Mosaic on the night but if you’d like to get hold of the book you can still order it from Amazon (and other online stores) or direct from the publisher, Bridge House. Just let me know if you have any problems.

The publisher would like me to point out that, with the festive season fast approaching, Mosaic could make an ideal stocking filler. But far be it from me to say anything so crassly commercial!

More news soon. Make sure you join my mailing list if you want to be the first to hear about forthcoming events and new material on the site.
