Just wanted to say a wee thank you to all my readers this morning. Sales of the new novel, Finding Sophie, are going well and the other three in the series are following suit.

I also wanted to mention the volunteers I met on Saturday at Pilton Retreat, Ratho. What a great hard-working team and what a wonderful place for schools, youth teams, families and kids to enjoy the freedom and safety of the countryside! Hope the funding continues guys and your much needed centre sees it through to the 50th anniversary next year.

Couldn’t sleep last night. Why? Because Finding Sophie is only just out and Working for Josh, the next book in the JP Associates series, is nipping at me big time! I only wanted a wee break, honestly I did.

That’s almost two weeks since Finding Sophie hit the Amazon bookshelves and early signs are looking promising.

Thank you to all who bought the ebook or paperback, or both. Please feel free to comment about the book or any of the books in the JP Associates series on my website.

Never mind Finding Sophie, what about finding the sun? The last two days here in Leith have been drookit indeed, with all the lights in the house burning brightly and the central-heating back to its winter setting.

A person might be as well curling-up on their settee and reading a good book!

Dear Readers,
Finding Sophie, book 4 in the JP Associates series, is available now on Amazon Kindle and in paperback. For those who had problems downloading book 3 on their kindles, that problem has been rectified for book 3 and book 4. Now there should be no problem downloading any of the four books in the series.
I hope you all enjoy the book.
Thank you to the reader who has given book 4 its first five-star review!

With only a few pages of editing to do before the final proof and check-over, Finding Sophie, the fourth book in the JP Associates series should be on the shelves by late March. Thank you to all my readers for your patience and continued support.

I’d bet any money that JP Assosiates thought they’d seen the back of me when my ME struck a couple of weeks ago. Well they haven’t. I’m back guys! Okay maybe not with a vengeance, more of a whimper actually, but back nevertheless.
So what have you intrepid sleuths been up to in my absense?

As my birthplace, well near enough, Leith provides the inspiration and rich setting for my novels that are based around a fictitious private detective agency, JP Associates.

Leith is a buzzing port linked in the early twentieth century to become part of Edinburgh.

It represents a microcosm of society, with a personality that has been shaped by the past and a diverse community of characters and enterprises who will shape its future.

The JP Associates series is about the goings-on of a place that could be any place, of people with their warmth, their traumas and their joys.

If you were going to open a detective agency, wouldn’t you want it to be slap bang in the centre of it all?
