Linda McDermott Show, 2pm-4pm

I am taking part in a special radio show to be broadcast on Christmas Day, pre-recorded aboard the  Railway Touring Company's 'York Yuletide Express' that went from Liverpool Lime Street to York and back on 13th Dec.

I shall be in conversation with Linda  McDermott and her co-presenter Andy Ball, together with Peter Elson on the Daily Post, Steven Guy of the National Museums Merseyside, the cast of the '39 Steps', and singer Asa Murphy, all takiing steam trains, great railway journeys, crime fiction, Christmases past and York Minster...

June 2009 - Appearance at the Great Central Railway 1940's weekend.

Perfect weather, huge crowds and both books selling well! The Murder of Crows soon to go into a further reprint! That's nearly 1,000 copise sold since just before Christmas. The Inspector Vignoles mysteries are proof that the self-publishing IS the way forward, and thanks to YOU my readers, you seem to like the fact that the books do not follow a strict formula, and enjoy the quirky, atmospheric blend of Foyle, Midsummer Murder, Morse and Ian Allan loco spotter's books! Toot toot!
