Almost Every Officer Is Going

A News Junkie, I Read, Daily, The 'times/sunday Times,' The 'guardian/observer,' 'mail,' And The 'argus' - Both To Keep Up With Crime In Brighton, Where I Set My Novels, And Because I Think It Is Vital To Support Local Papers - They Provide A Unique Accountability For Councils, Emergency Services And So Much Else, And Are Dangerously Undervalued.

I Guess A Lot Of Police Keep Their Sanity By Developing Black Humour.

I Think That Brighton, For A Crime Writer, Is Almost Like A Character.

There's No Question That Ghosts Exist. The Big Question For Me Is Whether Ghosts Are Simply Electronic Imprints Left In The Walls Or The Atmosphere Of Places, Or Whether They Do Actually Represent Something From The Afterlife.

I Never Actually Wanted To Write Horror, Oddly Enough. It Was A Kind Of Misnomer, Because I Didn't Ever Actually Write Horror In The Sense Of The Genre Known For It. It Was More A Type Of Pigeon-holing In Bookshops.
