AUTHOR TALKS DONE

"He was ripping his clothes off at breakneck speed, like he was the late guest at a Roman orgy."

I love getting out there as an author, meeting people and discussing my writing inspirations and my Harry's World.  Invariably I find at these events there's also a lot of lively questions and discussion around crime and corruption, given my previous professional background.  It all makes for a great chat!
One of the reasons I write is to share with the public the sort of graft and sleaze that exists in our society, especially amongst the supposedly respectable elites.  Aside form my written pieces, doing author talks is a fantastic way to chat in person about the dark facets of our society.


I'm always keen to make myself available for author talks, whether at libraries or elsewhere, so please feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss an event.
