It’s been a long wait, but I have some good news. My book ‘I don’t talk to dead bodies’… the curious encounters of a forensic psychiatrist, is moving further towards publication with every week that goes by.

I am pleased to reveal that my publication date is 28 July 2022 and within the next couple of weeks you will see a new AUTHOR section in this website, where you will be able to preorder a signed copy of the book direct from me. (£12.99 plus p&p).

Later, it will be possible to order the paperback and audiobook from Amazon and other outlets, or order from a bookstore, but this is your chance to get your very own signed copy.

The front cover has been designed by me too and is with the graphic designer for addition of text at the moment. I hope to reveal that to you very soon.

Right now I am looking for additional opportunities to promote the book e.g., newspapers, podcasts, radio or TV interviews. My business group colleagues have been great in making some connections for me.

I am also hopeful of some book endorsements from respected authors… the manuscript is back from the copy editor so ready to send out to those who have agreed to help. It’s quite exciting.

There has been so much happening with the book that I have a bit of a backlog of art commissions. Currently working on a watercolour of a grand old house with lovely turrets, set in wooded grounds, and then on to two wedding venues.

There is then the judging of my Bandanarama charity dog walk pet photos, to see who will have their pet portrait painted as first prize. They all look so cute in their checked bandanas with little Rotary badges.
