Great news!

Moody black-and-white picture of a very foggy Piccadilly Circus in the 1950s, with pedestrians walking past the Eros statue and a man standing near an old taxi. The buildings in the background are just vague shapes, hidden in the smog.

Shortlisted for the Crime Writers’ Association Emerging Authors Dagger 2025 , with the judges saying: a "terrific setting and the writing in this is really impactful; it’s gripping and makes for a really pacy read.”... a "very sharp historical mystery."

Black-and-white picture from the 1950s, showing two policemen standing silhouetted against the lights of Piccadilly Circus on a foggy night.

My debut novel, Soho Love, Soho Blood, is #onsubmission!

Enhertu is giving women more time in Scotland and around the world.
But NICE denied it in England, Wales & NI, saying we’re not “cost effective.”

Hundreds of people should not be facing potential terrorism charges simply for holding placards, especially after a court ruling that the proscription of the organisation they were supporting is unlawful. That's not how democracy is supposed to work.

“...because my boss has a man-crush on Russia’s dictatorial leader, who he’s scared of, but would love to emulate, while I have the moral fibre of a just-laid cat turd. Hey, did you know the Pope gets Catholicism all wrong?"

Yup, I went and had the same experience as Chaminda

Well, one of the parties mentioned here is desperate, he’s right about that...

Corrupt.

Give your key defenses and fortress cities to Russia which has been unable to take them in 12 years of fighting, and then we who are acting to strengthen Russia will pretend to help you protect the rest of your country. This is shameful, rotten, and stinks of corruption.

Reform UK said I was 'bullying' when I pointed out their colleague was jailed for beating up his former partner.

But this year was brilliant, I’ll admit, so many great games.

We’ll see if this is true - but if it is, the evidence will be clear: you make positive change by implementing it, rather than triangulating and endlessly consulting. Build a better city and people will want to keep those gains.
