Welcome to my new website. I hope you like it. Please feel free to ask me a question or make a comment via the “Interact with me” section. Please also consider telling us about your favourite books via the “Readers Club”.
You may think that writing is a solitary affair, and in some respects it is. But I’m also part of a team, and I would like to use my first post to thank them. My wife Claire has read the early drafts of each of my books, several times, always improving them. Only then do they go to my editor, Debz Hobbs-Wyatt, who improves them further. I hope you’ll agree with me that I managed to secure the best cover designer in the business, Jacqueline Abromeit. The newest member of the team is Simon de Deney, who is producing audiobooks. More news on that soon. Thanks also to Tom Branagh for designing this website. Finally I would like to thank my readers, without whom my books would just sit in the basement of the Bodleian and British libraries. I particularly thank those who have taken the time to write reviews. Thank you all and welcome.
