My third book, the second Matt Crawford mystery, has just been released.

It’s a story based on my family’s history and sees private detectives Matt and Kate search for a long-lost father.

Something extraordinary happened while I was writing the final chapters. It sent tremors down my spine. A letter arrived from a half-brother and half-sister I never knew I had. It mirrored one of the events in my story when long kept family secrets are revealed.

Everything happens for a reason. Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.
