I have not yet read a book by you I haven't loved so far. I've read six so far. You are fast becoming one of my favorite authors. Have you ever considered writing another genre like horror or is that outside your comfort zone?

Thanks for the kind words, Chuck. I have, over the years, done a couple of humour books, and a memoir called Last Resort, which is still available as an ebook, and two thrillers for young readers. But the book that has just come out now in ebook form, and will be out in print later this year, is more of a Michael Crichton kind of thriller, a departure for me. Borderline scientific-fi, perhaps. Think Jurassic Park, but instead of dinosaurs, it's self-driving cars. It's called Look Both Ways.

Hi, my mother and I adore your work. It's been just about a month since we started and I've already gobbled up 3 books and bought a few more! Your writing style is epic and what sets you apart from other authors is the emphasis you put on the protagonist and her emotions and not on the ancillary characters. Well, the question is who is your favorite author from the crime & psychological thriller genre?

I am such a huge fan of your books! I was hooked when I read No Time for Goodbye. You are my one and only auto buy author that hasn't disappointed me even once. Whatever book of yours is out there - I read it - I love it! Are you ever coming to Germany? If not I might even travel to the UK if you're going there at some point. It would be amazing to meet you and get a book signed!
