The Hanging Man Investigation is out now. Atkins and Palmer book 2, available in paperback and ebook.

Word of advice to any book marketers emailing me. If you're going to offer to market my book professionally, it might be an idea to get the right bloody book. You know, one that I actually wrote.

💯 agree with this👇
Unsolicited writing advice from someone who's just regained their writing mojo:

Stop worrying about the market. Just write something you think is fascinating.

If you can, distance yourself from people who sap your confidence about your writing and yourself.

Celebrate every achievement.
