Crime writer and advisor on science to other authors.

I'll be signing copies of my new thriller, Fatal Trap at the Black Cat, High Street, Weston-super-Mare on Wednesday 18th November from 19.30. The apparently motiveless murder of a scientist, police officers under threat and vengeful women - what's not to like? (as well as great beer and cider)

Very sad to hear that Dr Graham Lawler, who published my crime science book, has recently died. He was a major figure in mathematics education as well as the publisher of a wide range of books.

On Sunday afternoon at 4.20 I'll be chatting to Steve Yabsley on Radio Bristol about my latest book, A Pocketful of Poisons. You can catch it on BBC Sounds, live and on catch-up, and also, I believe, at BBC.com worldwide. Do join me!

Science tip for authors. If your detective suspects a white powder is cocaine, don't have them taste it or rub it on their gums to see if it makes them numb. If it turned out to be fentanyl it could kill them!

I'm being interviewed on BBC Upload and reading the intro to my novel Fatal Image. You can use BBC Sounds wherever you are and at any time. It's tonight on Radio Gloucestershire & Radio Wiltshire from 6pm and from 7pm on Radio Bristol & Radio Somerset. Repeated on Saturday at various times.

Tomorrow night at 7pm, to celebrate the publication of Fatal Image, I'll be talking to Samantha Brownley on a UKCBC chat - pop along to the UK Crime Book Club FB site and join us!
