What's new?
Hello you.
Quick new post from me to update you on what’s happening in my world. Realise that I’ve been very quiet since April, so let’s fix that.
Fenchurch
Most of my time in 2017 was spent on that old rascal. Two novels, now called IN FOR THE KILL and KILL WITH KINDNESS, out in April and July respectively. They progress the Fenchurch story in a satisfying way, given what happened in book three, hopefully enough to buy me a little time and not have to write any more of him for a while. You’ll forgive me in time. I know you will.
Cullen & Hunter
I’ve started work on the eighth Cullen book, HEROES & VILLAINS. Given the release of the two Fenchurch books, it won’t be out until October. I’m trying something new with this one, so hopefully it’ll work well. There won’t be a Hunter book this year, but expect one next year assuming that book 2 keeps selling as well as it has.
Vicky Dodds
Watch out for a new edit of book 1 to drop in the new month or so. New cover, a ton of editing (it’s almost a new book, goddammit) and hopefully enough energy to make people want a sequel. Book 2, FLESH AND BLOOD, will be the next Scottish cop book I do after Cullen 8. Both are long overdue, but Cullen is the one I get messages about every day, so . . .
What else am I doing?
Aha. Two big things. New things. As for what they are, you’ll have to watch this space, but they’re both going to be brilliant, even if I do say so myself.
Hope 2018 has been good to you.

Love both Fenchurch and Cullen. Nearly finished the last book of the Cullen series. Looking forward to more. I work for PS and can readily identify with the stories. Going to give Hunter a try next. Keep up the brilliant writing

Cheers Jos. Glad to be of service — the Hunter books are a wee bit different but you’ll enjoy the familiar faces… I hope.

Only just found you as an author. I have read the Funchurch and Cullen books within the space of two weeks. Absolutely hooked. Can’t wait for April. Going to try the Hunter books and the Vicki Dodds. Write faster.

Hi Sue. Welcome to the fun. Hop eyou enjoy the Hunter books — I’d hang off on the Vicky Dodds one for a few weeks so I can get the revised one up, it’ll be worth it. Ed

Hi Ed,Glad to hear you are finally getting Cullen in print again. I’ve missed him! But, I am back re-reading Vicky Dodds ‘Snared’ again for the second time. It’s something I quite enjoy doing if I’ve liked the story first time around. In fact I think I’ve read all the books I have of yours twice! I see on one of your messages you have moved to the Borders. Wise move, maybe some of the stories will feature Hawick in the future?? Happy writing. Have a great 2018.Cheers Christine

I don’t know if the world is ready for a police procedural set in Hawick… 😉

Hi Carol,
Yes, there’ll be an eighth later this year — started work on it. Aiming for October-ish. If you want some more Cullen after that, he’s in the two Craig Hunter books, MISSING and HUNTED, which are in a similar vein.
Cheers!
Ed
